I have been enjoying making the festabrew kits. I want to add a fruit puree next time. I'd prefer raspberry, but if I can't get it, then probably cherry. I'm looking at 3lb cans of vintner's harvest puree, but could also try juice or frozen fruit, depending on what I can get.
I also have blueberries in my freezer, but I don't think it would work well in the red beer. Maybe better with wheat...
My question: Will adding the fruit make the beer sour? Everything I look up talks about sour raspberry beer. I chose the red kit because it's got some malty sweetness. I usually prefer my beer less sweet with lots of dry hops, but for fruit, I thought a little sweeter would work better. Does anyone have experience with adding fruit? What do the different kinds do with regard to flavor and sourness?
