    When to add fruit flavoring?

    Thanks... this sounds like a good idea. On the bottle it says Natural Fruit Flavoring. it is 4 fl oz. I think I will add 2-3 oz into the secondary. Then when I keg it taste test it and see if I should add more. Clay

    When to add fruit flavoring?

    I am making a cherry stout, and the instructions say to add the cherry fruit flavoring into bottling bucket. Well I am going to keg it, so should I put it into the keg while I am kegging it, or should I put it into the secondary, primary, or wort? I am assuming I would put it into the keg...

    The problem with high abv beer is...

    Same with me. I've packed on about 40 lbs in three years because of my wife. It works out good though because I used to be a twig now I'm just a little over weight.

    Weizenbock... burnt taste???

    Thanks for the input Walker!! It has been six days since I last tasted it, and I had to pop open another to confirm what type of burnt taste it was. I would say that is has mellowed out a little. I hope it will mellow out even more in time. Thanks again!!!!

    Weizenbock... burnt taste???

    Yes it was an extract. I shut the burner off and moved it to another burner on the stove per the instructions when I added the extract. Stirred it well and had a thermometer measuring the temp around 150-160 degrees. I thought that it might be the extract burning but I guess I am just...

    Weizenbock... burnt taste???

    My Weizenbock has a strong burnt taste after you drink it. Does anyone know what might have caused that? I read Palmer's book on off tastes but this doesn't seem to be one of them in the book. Thanks
