I thought the same thing, but they were ordering mixed drinks too. They don't sell those there.

I think they went to Boston for the week, but to be honest I have no clue.

In three hours. Thank you Gabe for talking me down from doing this with the entire batch!

For those who've done fresh fruit in the secondary - do you sanitize the fruit with vodka, steep in 160 degree water for fifteen, something else or nothing at all?

You're adding fruit to a low pH, high alcohol environment, that already has a dominant microbe population. I just throw it it there, but I never make fruit beers with just sacc.

 

[TNGabe]

I boil for 1 minute remove and puree. Several fruit beers and never a problem. That method was actually taught to me by the brew master at Shorts Brewing.

Not that Shorts is infamous for releasing horribly infected fruit beers or anything...

Heat + fruit = pectin = chill haze

That's what I'm thinking I want to do ... it just goes against my anal retentive nature to sanitize everything

Whatever you do, I'd hurry up and do it instead of letting the prepared fruit hang out. Or did you freeze? Might help bust it up. I can't really remember what pomegranate is like other than odd. I had to eat them in a high school play and haven't had them since.

 

[mcbaumannerb]

they are in a container in the fridge ... but freezing might be a good idea. The pistils are like seeds filled with the juice so freezing them to burst those might be a good idea. If this blasted conference call ends I'll go do that.

 

[TNGabe]

Put them on a cookie sheet to freeze so you don't get a big block. Line the sheet with wax paper or parchment or something. Then they should be easier to funnel into your BB to let them thaw before racking the beer in.

No chill haze here big guy. My Bloody Beer and Pineapple IPA were clear.

Having coffee for now. I'm exhausted after a long night of work, so no beer for me today (at least until later).

That timber sure likes to burn... I remember the fires during the summer there well. Do what you can to keep your place and stuff safe, but you and the family come first man.

Wow - that is getting close. Is the smoke still down or has it gone back up since yesterday?

It is bad in the mornings but it lifts up and away during the day for the most part. Today is the worst air quality so far though. Hopefully with all the man-power they are throwing at it now things will get better soon. We are supposed to see rain tomorrow but T-storms could be coming with it also.

They've done better recently, but a few years ago they were bottling some really screwed up beers.

Very little pectin in pineapple and even less in maters chief. In general, heating fruit above 170ish will give you cloudy beer.

What about just a flash dip in boiling water(which is basically what I do)
