Fruits in stouts

[Squidmanoo7]

I'm new to brewing made my second batch this Sunday n decided to experiment a little so I added cinnamon sticks and ginger root to it during first fermentation now I'm thinking of trying apples with the second fermentation anyone try anything similar!?

Blueberries work surprisingly well.

Blueberries, blackberries, and even raspberries. My buddy just tapped a milk stout w/ raspberries @ his brewery for his newborn son. I thought the raspberries played well.

Sounds good

Bell's makes a mean cherry stout. And I'll second the blueberry thing!

Should I secondary with my fruit if I try that.....

There's a local brewery that makes a "tropical stout" with dates in it. It's very good.

I did a monster RIS with blackberry puree in secondary. Turned out great! It just needed a few months of age in bottles for the flavors to come together.

 

[Squidmanoo7]

Right on!!
