MitchBastard Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Howdy. Tomorrow I’ll be “dry hopping” a wheat beer with a Kg of raspberries. Should I use a hop sock or grain bag? Or just dump em in commando? i was planning on mashing em up a bit and just going in raw. Yay or nay? Yew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Captain!! Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I’d just thrown them in 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
der kleine Drache Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 If they are frozen they give away more juice and sugar. Maybe too late for that for you. I would use a sock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerveja Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I do about 1.5 kg and after freezing they are whizzed in the blender and then pushed through a fine strainer into the FV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navigator Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 (edited) I did the blushing blonde recipe last time round with 500 grm frozen mixed berries that I gave a bashing to then used the clean chux cloth tied cnr to cnr. Throw it in the day after everything else. Edited June 18, 2019 by Navigator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will let you know next week this week I'm going to try it with frozen mangoes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just tried mine, it's not bad but not sure I would go the mixed berries again, tomorrow I'm doing another but with the frozen mango chunks.

Beerlust Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I've had good success with berries by turning them into a compote/lumpy syrup by combining & heating them with some sugar/dextrose & a little water on the stove, then adding them to the fermenter (& mixing well) in this form prior to adding the yeast. I use 1 - 1.25kgs in darker brews & the flavour & aroma is very enduring (even years later). Just my 5 cents, Lusty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealthing691 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 100g /L after 80% fermentation will give you good taste but not over powering I did a hazy and a clear at that they where in a hop cylinder pureed but it is all to your taste cheers 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
