Put it in no heavier than a light pale ale to keep the kiwi flavor,imo.

Union: what do you mean?

I figured since you had it in the BK,you were going to add it to an ale or something. Kiwi being light flavored,it won't stand up to a big malt flavor. But a extra light malt,maybe interesting. What exactly are you making?

Following a recipe in a book, Extreme brewing. I wanted to get a couple brews under my belt before I start experimenting. Searched some threads on here and people say its pretty tasty, not a powerful kiwi flavor though. Any suggestions on how to get a more "potent" kiwi flavor?
What was the recipe? Generally,more fruit,or less water,lighter malt,that sort of thing. If I was making wine with that,I'd likely add some gold raisins.

not necessarily wanting to type it out. as a suggestion...search this forum for it and someone has it written out
What was the name,& under what style? You have to find the style heading first,then a specific recipe. I've posted a few myself...

Ingredients
Can't quite read it,have to look some more...Oook,it looks like a wheat beer from what little I can make out. 5G batch with 4.5lbs kiwi fruit. I think that might be a good balance for kiwi & wheat beer flavor.
