All:
I have a 5 gallon batch of Heffeweizen I just brewed and it is in primary right now. I also have 5 lbs. of peaches in the freezer that I wanted to add to the beer to make a peach flavored Heffeweizen for my wife.
My plan of attack was to thaw out the peaches and dump them in a big mesh bag that I use to make wine. I would transfer the beer out of the bucket in primary to a new sanitized bucket for secondary. Once the beer was in the bucket, I would drop in the bag of peaches and let it sit for a week or so before i keg it.
This is the first time I have tried a fruit flavored beer, I don't normally care for them so I haven't explored making them. Any thoughts on my approach or any suggestions to make sure I don't ruin 5 gallons of perfectly good beer?
Thanks,
Fred
