I brewed my first beer with fruit in it over the weekend (sour cherry ale from extreme brewing book) the recipe gets a little vague at the end. My plan is to keep the beer in primary for 3 weeks. I put the cherries in just before I pitched the yeast (as the recipe requested). Is it OK to keep the cherries in the primary for 3 weeks? My concern is that the cherries may begin to go bad / rot
and I know I would not want rotten fruit in my beer.
