Cherry Juice Concentrate

[andysim]

I'm looking to make a cherry porter.

Has anyone used cherry concentrate?

If yes when did you add it and how much did you use?

I use it in my cherry stout, but I use the frozen canned cherry juice. I thaw and boil the whole can with a couple cups of water and add to secondary.

I tried using tart cherry concentrate in a cyser. No bueno.

I'll second the tart cherry juice concentrate being a no go. I used one ten ounce bottle of it in an Imperial stout and it dominated the other flavors immediately. It has somewhat fermented out and mellowed (in carboy about four months now), but it is still pretty unpleasant. I've heard of people using pasteurized black cherry juice with good success.
