Racked on fruit puree 6 days ago. What direction should I take here?

Oh, and about 2 tbs of red pepper flakes.

To the secondary. Puréed 2 lbs of tomato, 1 jalepeno pepper, and fresh basil. Beer in the glass was before adding the fruit. Will be interesting to see how the flavors develop in this beer. Thinking a dash of salt may compliment it. Will see.

Contacted them to see about shipping some our my way to try. Sounds like the pizza beer would be more of the "saucy" flavor that I'm trying to avoid.

Why do you say secondaries are a myth?

I didnt see your response before posting about adding more honey. Great info. Just what I was looking for. It shall go to the bottle. I'll prime with honey, just because it feels right. :mug:

Honey malt in the grain bill. Brewed a 3 gallon batch, and added 1/2 cup of honey.

So now that it in secondary, is adding honey mixed with water OK? And if so should I pitch more yeast?

I'm wanting to do something different than the traditional "red beer".

I've searched the forums and only found 2 threads about Tomato beer. It seems most think it's a terrible idea, but I'm on a mission for a buddy with a sandwich shop to put one together. I decided to add the fruit and spices at the secondary to a medium pale ale to get the "fresh" flavors and...

Decided to move to the secondary before adding any energizer or pitching more yeast. 10 days in the primary and the gravity was at 1.008, so I think it's done. OG was light at 1.039 because of a bad conversion ratio, so it's sitting at 4.1% and little under where I would like the honey flavor...

Did not add water. Should I give it a swirl since its been in a couple days? Add energizer then swirl?

Thanks for the rply. The recipe doesn't call for a secondary fermentation. Actually suggests to bottle at 10 days. The recipe did call for mixing the honey with water, and I believe the honey used was pasteurized, which mine is not. Maybe I should transfer to secondary in a couple days and...

Hello all, First post here. Would like to thank all for contributions over the years. I've read through a lot of threads to help get started with my small all grain set up. I'm on my third brew and have a honey ale that the recipe called for adding the honey after initial fermentation when...
