Here is a recipe for those who would like to add some fruit to their beer -- Very Berry Honey Wheat Beer. You can use just about any sweet fruit that is in season. The honey in this recipe gives the finished beer a slight effervescence that compliments the fruit flavors.
Ingredients
Procedures
- Purée the raspberries and mix into 1 liter of hot water on the stove. This sanitizes the fruit. Allow to cool, then strain into your Coopers fermenter.
- Add 2 liters of hot water to your Coopers fermenter.
- Mix in Wheat Beer Concentrate Kit, Light Dry Malt Extract, Dextrose and honey. Be sure to get all the ingredients well dissolved.
- Mix in raspberry purée.
- Top up fermenter to 21 liters with cold water.
- Cool to fermentation temperature (below 21°C/73°F) and add yeast.
- At bottling time add one Coopers Carbonation Drop to each 12 oz/375ml bottle.
- Condition in bottle 2-4 weeks.
