Brewing a spin on this for a winter warmer. Upping the caramunich to a pound and the honey to 2 # then putting 2# each sweet and sour cherries and using czech saaz.
Did you use store bought ground pepper ot did you grind your own? I used fresh ground black pepper and the pepper definitely comes through! Its still young but very tasty!
Brewed this a couple of days ago using styrian goldings and belma cause I needed to use them up and that was what this recipe was created for initially anyway.
Got all my ingredients together and going to brew on Wednesday. Only problem was my lhbs didn't have 3711 or belle saison so I got wlp 568 saison blend. Anyone ever use this before?
Don't rack to secondary until you are sure fermentation is complete. And even then it may be better to leave it a bit to let the yeast clean up after itself. I have used puree usually the seeds have been strained Imo I would use two cans for 5 gallons.
The raspberries are sanitized in the can already when they are packaged. A good rule of thumb is 1-2# per gallon depending on how intense you want the flavor. Add them in secondary.
