Hi All,
I'm planning to do a Mango Ale and i was curious as to the best way to go for this. From what I've read, it seems like there's 5 different routes i could go as far as what mango to use as well as 2 different methods for adding it.
The 5 different routes i've read say to either use 1) Fresh fruit and freeze it (sanatize once you take out of freezer) - 2) Purchase frozen fruit and as it's pre-pasturized only need to sanatize bag/scissors - 3) buy fresh fruit, boil it and add it - 4) buy a concentrate can and add it - 5) buy an extract and add it
I was wondering which one would be most beneficial to the finished beer.
There's also 2 different methods i've read regarding adding the fruit to the beer. The first is to add it to the primary fermenter and be careful not to unsettle the yeast on the bottom and the second is to rack to a secondary and rack the beer onto that.
I was hoping for some guidance, recommendations and experience that you all may have.
Thanks in advance
