    Zest & puree

    I brewed an all cascade pale ale with 1 oz of dried grapefruit zest at 5 min boil. Now i got the idea to add mango puree. Is it a bad idea considering i added zest from another fruit? And how much puree should i add to a 5 gal batch? Thanks! Goose

    US-05 hot temp pitch

    Because I was in a hurry I had to pitch my yeast, US-05, at around 27 degrees Celcius. Is that too hot? It sits in the garage and the temp in there is around 18-19 degrees. Any idea how it will turn out? Any off flavors?
