Raspberry Kolsh - Raspberry in secondary - how much time on fruit?

[Somegeek]

Hey folks,

I let my kolsh sit in primary for two weeks at 62F. Transferred to secondary and dumped in my 3 pint can of raspberry puree. How long should I let this sit on the fruit in secondary for max flavor? I'd read that you pull most flavor out of the puree after a week. Is this accurate?

I'd expect the time to ferment out the added simple sugars would get whatever you're going to get out of the puree. I don't see the need for a week in that regards - simple sugars get eaten quickly unless you're pushing the yeast strain alcohol tolerance...

Cheers!

Thanks for this. Would you raise the temps at all to finish or just leave at 62f?

If it doesn't free-rise that far I'd be inclined to nudge it up to 67-68°F until the SG stabilizes again.
Did you not do a diacetyl rest on the original fermentation?

Cheers!

I did not know to. . I can raise it now.

Brined and smoked is my favorite. I do brine frozen birds. I just cut back on the kosher salt a little in the brine. Never had one taste salty. Injected and deep fried is my wife's favorite. I usually deep fry because of time. Sometimes I smoke one on brew day. I can watch the smoker wile brewing. Neither one of us care for oven roasted.

Wrong thread?

Yes. Not sure how it ended up here. I was in a completely different thread.
