Hi Everyone,
I've enjoyed reading the site, so thought I'd become official. Went to college and lived in Mt. Pleasant, MI for a while (as I see another recent new member has as well), but now I live in the brew heaven of Bend, Oregon.
Been brewing for a little while, and am beginning to experiment with partial mash brews. Drinking a honey wheat now, and have a rye IPA bottled and about 2 weeks from being ready to drink.
I do bring one immediate question. I am interested in using a stock of fresh peaches in our freezer for a Peach Pale Ale (primarily at the request of the Mrs.). I have read fruit recipes that call for adding fruit puree directly to a primary fermenter at the same time as the yeast pitch, and some call for the fruit addition to a secondary fermenter for a week or two, only to then be moved to a 3rd fermenter. Does anyone have experience with either of these methods (ideally both) that isn't already listed under the "fruit beer" section of HBT?
Thanks in advance for the advice and I look forward to learning more!
Dave
