Hi all,
I would like to make a beer with a distinct taste and color from berries.
My plan is to make a simple wheat beer with 50 % pilsner malt and 50 % wheat malt. Hop could be Tettnang, 10-15 IBU’s (no aroma hops).
I would then ad a mixture of forest berries (blueberry, raspberry, strawberry etc.) to secondary for a week, rake to tertiary to clear for at week and then bottle.
How many berries would be appropriate to ensure a distinct taste and color from the berries?
How much fermentable sugar would the berries ad?
Other comments?
