So last week I had my first brew day an APA and added a bit too much water. My OG was about 1.040 and has since dropped to 1.010. It has been in a primary for almost 2 weeks (it will be 2 weeks on Monday). I tested gravity today and the beer tastes great its just a bit watered down. Since it is watered down I am going to attempt to add fruit to a secondary in an attempt to mask this mistake.
I'm thinking Pineapple, Apricot, or Peach. I don't want it to overpower the flavor of the original beer but compliment the flavor.
I've seen various methods for adding fruit flavor. I wouldn't mind the additional alcohol content as well but its not a biggie. Is it best just to buy frozen fruit, thaw out and rack on top of it? I saw a post about cooking the fruit on the stove as well.
What have you guys had success with.
