Stretchinf fruit additions with tinctures?

[Joewalla88]

Just a quick question. I usually just add fruit after primary fermentation when I'm doing fruit beers, but I was wondering if I could get more flavor/aroma from less fruit by using tinctures. Anyone know?

i know you can concetrate fruit juices by freezing them and pouring off the juice and removing the ice to get more flavor.

i have done this with apple juice for cider backsweetening

also i have had good results crushing fruit and soaking it in everclear for a few days to extract flavor . then i pass it through a wilser .

again i have done this with ciders but it shoudl work for beers also

I'm glad to hear it works. I'm curious if you can away with using less fruit in a tincture than just fruiting the beer in secondary. I smell an experiment.
