Haha. Good one. Going for a clean ferment on this. It's my favourite brew. The keg never lasts very long.

Sooooo combined some apricot purée with a Festa brew wheat ale kit.

Result: primary fermentation version of a foam belching cookie monster. It just needs the googly eyes...

Yeeeeaaaaah... it's definitely NOT on the dinning room table anymore. The combination was at her request though. :spilly:

My wife has requested the same combination and I'm more than happy to try it out. How long did you wait before you added the puree? Hoping to avoid that if possible

Post by **LeafMan66_67** » Thu Jun 04, 2015 7:51 am

I usually wait a 5-7 days (when vigorous fermentation is slowing) before racking into a secondary with the puree or fruit.

Halifax_Jeff · Post by **Halifax_Jeff** » Thu Jun 04, 2015 7:58 am

Derek, do you stir in the puree or just dump the fruit in? I haven't experimented with it but it sounds good for a summer drink.

I dump the puree or fruit into the secondary and then rack on top of it. I don't stir - you want to rack with as little agitation as possible to avoid adding oxygen into the mix.

I tried this with a raspberry wheat ale a couple years back (using the same puree brand) and mine ended up blowing out through the airlock and making a foamy pink mess everywhere. Less mess than my current predicament though...

Next time I'm going to go with a blow off tube setup.

Post by **LeafMan66_67** » Thu Jun 04, 2015 2:22 pm

I'm guessing that the difference is that I'm doing a 20L batch and have a bit extra headroom in the carboy for the second fermentation that it usually goes through. Blowoff tube is a good idea.
