    Kool-Aid in Primary?

    Fruit beer experiment: Adding strawberries to chilled beer to avoid dryness

    This is my method when brewing my fruited berliner Weiss's. Kettle sour, ferment, cold crash, add puree fruit, condition 3 days then rack and keg. Dancing Gnome here in Pittsburgh uses this method on their Underscore series and DBL underscore series.

    3rd attempt souring

    Awesome. Makes me feel better now. 7 lbs in a 10 lb batch might be too little but I might add a touch of extract before keg to get the flavor. The peaches were off our tree in the yard so no real financial loss.
