Hello everyone,
I love this forum, I'm a new homebrewer and new to the forum. Love the advice and knowledge I've learned here.
I am wondering if I could ask for some advice on an extract hefe that I am brewing. I am trying to create a mango flavored hefeweizen and am about 1/2 through the primary fermentation process. My buddy is guiding me through this recipe and stated that I'll be adding the mango to the secondary. With that, here is my basic recipe:
7# Wheat DME boiled for 60 min
1 oz German perle (8.3aa) for 60 min
1 oz Tettnag (4.8 aa) at boil turn off
1 pkg of safAle English Ale (S-04)
Now I know that I used the "wrong" yeast but that is what I had available at the time. The OG is 1.051.
The brew in the primary looks tasty and looks like it should. But now comes the part where I don't really know; how to add a fruit concoction to the secondary.
I want to use fresh mangos and puree them and add them to the secondary. I found some basic instructions on the web that shows me how to puree, boil and add them to the secondary (using pantyhose as a grain bag).
My questions are, if I am planning on doing a 1 week+ secondary, when do I add the mango? How long do I leave it in the secondary for? And what will this do to any additional fermentation and for the priming later for bottles?
Also, if anyone has any tips on making the mango concoction and adding that flavor to the hefeweizen, that would be appreciated. This is my first time trying to add real fruit to my beer.
