I wonder if something has changed lately because the Purple Haze that is labeled as a lager, with pretty much the exact same recipe as Strawberry Harvest.

Building up a recipe right now. Does anyone know what the final gravity or the original gravity of the actual Abita Strawberry Harvest beer? Really want to nail this one.

Awesome, I can't wait to hear how it will be. I think your recipe sounds spot on. I've been listening to some of the Can You Brew It podcasts from the past few months where they talked about no recipe cloning and one of the things that I took away was that on a light beer like this where the...

Anyone try doing this from a carboy to a keg? Kegs are at a premium oftentimes at my house. I'd like to transfer from my carboys with a few PSI, through a filter into the serving keg. Thoughts?

When I'm able to brew I will go AG with a full lager. I plan on filter the beer with a plate filter and juicing the strawberries with a juicer then adding the fresh juice to the beer. Right now I have three 6 packs of ASH left in my pantry and fridge so it will be a while before I brew. I want...

No worries. I thought the filtration part was interesting. Filtering strips out the yeast that would be remaining suspended in the beer and would ensure that none of the sugars in the strawberry juice are fermented.

I'm following this thread and am going to brew a clone as soon as possible. I thought I post what is on the back of the ASH bottle. They practically give you the recipe. Abita Strawberry Harvest is a lager brewed with pilsner and wheat malts and Vanguard hops. Real Louisiana strawberry juice is...

I use spring water that supposedly comes from Sierra Nevada springs. I'm practically half way there to Sierra Nevada pale ale.

Very easy, great idea too. Thanks for the tip.

I'm glad I'm not the only one totally confused with the way he explains it. If you do 3 running, what sort of water/grain ratios are you using for each lauter? What does your pre-boil wort volume usually come out to be?

Well, as I understand it, if you dump your full amount of sparge water into your MLT along with your strike water, aren't you essentially getting the same thing done, although I can definitely see where your efficiency might suffer. Adding the sparge water causes saccharification to stop, you...
