I tried something similar once as a porter but used too much cherry juice and it was just overpowering. I’ll try again but with less juice or infusing with cherries, rather than juice. I certainly like the idea.

Clayton’s Lager is boiling away. I changed the recipe twice and settled for Pilsener and Munich malts and a goodly amount of Hallertauer mf. Clayton’s because I’ll use M54, so it is the lager you’re having when you’re not having a lager. Just a test to see what the yeast can do.

I have done both, the bickford's cherry juice goes well. Cherries would be good if there were any

That's good to know.  I am planning a Blackforest Porter in a few brews time.  Its recipe calls for 1 litre of Sour Cherry Juice.  I was hoping that the Bickfords Juice would fit the bill.

Probably not sour like morello cherries - they may be better for the recipe, that's what we put in the cakes when I was a baker

Thanks for the tip.

So if the recipe says 1kg Sour Cherry Juice, how much of the product below would I replace it with? 

Also how would I add it?  Chuck an amount in, juice and all?  In a hop sock/Chux cloth?  Chop, mash or crush the cherries first?  Weigh out an amount of cherries only and add them?  Chop, mash or crush first?  Freeze then thaw and chop, mash or crush?

Is this the product you mean?

I always imagined you being a food tradesman. I leaned toward chef, but you being a baker doesn't surprise me in the least.

How do you make that @stquinto? Lemon zest soaked in alcohol?

I took the zest from 9 unwaxed lemons ( don’t take the white pith, it ruins it) , put it in a jar with a litre of full-strength alcohol(that was from Italy, 96 degrees) and leave it a month. Then strain it and add the (by now bright yellow) alcohol to a sugar syrup. I haven’t the dosage on me but I’ll post it. Leave it another cuppla weeks and you’re good to go 👍

If you want the cloudy yellow colour you need to use high-alcohol booze apparently
