I'm doing an adaptation of the Cherries in the Snow from the Jow of Homebrewing.
8.5 lbs light malt extract syrup
1.5 oz. Tettnang (boiling)
.5 oz. Tettnang (finishing)
Then berries will be added to the secondary rather than at burnout like the recipe states (also using raspberries rather than cherries)
The recipe said to boil the malt extract in the water with the boiling hops for 60 minutes. By the end it looked much darker than I had been hoping for. Is that the way it should be? Is it OK to add the liquid malt extract in the middle of the boil to prevent some of the darkening?
Hydrometer sample tasted good so far even though it doesn't have any berry flavor yet.
Using Safe ale US-05 American dry ale yeast.
OG 1.061 and it has been happily bubbling for about 30 hours.
