Strawberry ale explosion in secondary

[bloomam]

I transferred my base beer to the secondary after one week and added 6 pounds of strawberry. I had a nice explosion within 24 hours. Was this too soon for the addition of fruit?

what was the base? if it was a blonde or a hefe, not too early

Sorry for the really late reply. The beer was actually a gluten free beer for the wife using a brown rice syrup as the base.

Nine months later... How did it turn out? Adding the sugar of the fruit = more fermentation, how much depends on a lot of things.

It wasn't as good as the first strawberry ale I made for my wife but I think that may have more to do with the type of strawberry.
