All,
I have to do a beer with pineapple for our latest club competition. I brewed up 5 gallons of a hazy on friday and planned after the fact to turn it into a pineapple milkshake IPA. I brew a ton of lagers and the occasional hazy so this is new territory for me.
I've got two 20oz cans of crushed pineapple I could use, I was going to add one can to my SS tea infuser tonight with the first dry hop addition. I was also going to add some boiled/cooled lactose with a bit of water. i'm struggling with the lactose amount to use.
A half pound of lactose would be 3.8% of my grist, a pound would be 7.4% I honestly dont have much taste experience with this style so i'm not even sure what I should shoot for. Any advice would be welcome.
Also, is one 20oz can enough pineapple? I was thinking I could taste when doing the second dry hop addition and add the second can then if it's not pineapple enough for my tastes.
