Do you think it will be ok? I plan on doing it this week if I have time. The fruit has been in their 12 days.

It's been in the primary for about two weeks. I added the fruit 5 days ago and noticed the fermentation kicked up for 2 days. How long should I let it go? And what could I make at home with the left over apricot puree?

I had a feeling I would get some primary and secondary votes. being that it's a small batch only 2 gallons, I'm thinking the primary would be more suitable, I'm thinking about adding 2.5 lbs of puree. Do you seeing anything wrong with this? I usually ferment for 2 weeks and only use a primary...

Hi all, I had a great brew day and brewed an amber ale and a apricot wit! I wanted to know when the best time would be to add the apricot puree to the fermentation? It's just about two gallons of apricot wit that I have fermenting. Also it's a vintners 3 lb can what would be a good amount?

Thanks, do you think these hops will work well with an amber ale? I have little experience and I am going off mainly hop descriptions, until I acually smell n taste each hop, I'm just kinda building blindly.

Anyone?

Hi all, the WB-06 ABV is Aprox 5.25 and the WLP300 is Aprox 5.51, the WLP had a much better smell, IMO and the sample tasted better! I ended up getting 18 bottles total. I used the bb drops as they seemed to work fine with my previous batch.

Hi just wanted to let everyone know how the brew turned out. Simple light clean tasty and very drinkable! I really like the strisslespalt hop! cheers! :mug: and thanks for all the great replies
