I have had two failed fruit beer attempts, But this one was a kit using extract wheat extract and peach puree that I put in the primary near the end of boil(12.5 brix OG). Temperature controlled at 60* for the first week. It felt like it stalled out around 1.020 so I raised the temp to 65* for the second week and it finished at 1.014.
I racked to secondary and carbonated and I'm noticing its not good.....Lol. A slight nose of sour and no peachy flavor or smell. I know the boil probably killed the peach puree.
I don't think its infected per se. But its not good. I'm going to take it to the home brew store to get an opinion.... Are fruit beers hard to not go sour... It was supposed to be an easy extract kit.
The yeast was a dry yeast that I did a 2L starter on and used RO water. I'm not sure where I could have gone wrong.
