So I brewed a base wheat beer this weekend, and it's sitting in my primary. I plan to rack it to a secondary this weekend and want to add some fruit flavors.
I originally planned to add some wild raspberries I picked last summer and froze, but I don't have as many left as I thought. So instead I am going to mix in some blueberries, and blackberries with the raspberries. I'm going to puree the fruit and steep for about 5 minutes to sterilize. I plan to keep it to about 2lbs total and let it sit in the secondary for about 2 weeks.
This is my first "fruit" beer so I don't want to overdo it and end up drinking potpourri. Does this sound like a good plan? I'm also thinking of adding some coriander because I like the taste in wheat beers and it could help cut any tart flavors from the fruit. Kind of going for a lemon berry wheat.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions! Cheers!
