Mcgster that looks very much like the one I made last year.

Tim, Nash has solid advice there. - at 1.8kg (4lb) in a 5gal batch the raspberry definitely dominated. 1-1.5kg would be better to get more beer character. Maybe try to get a bit more body to the beer too, mine was a boring light wheat which is why I added the berries in the first place.

I love the colors of fruit beers. Blueberry is awesome. Even watermelon has a nice hue.

anyone ever add lactose to their Raspberry Cream ale?....I was thinking of adding some....maybe 4oz-8oz?
The idea sounds interesting...a creamy Raspberry vanilla cream ale (way out of style)

Kegging time, Poolside Raspberry Blonde. It's going to be good, tastes good already. Slightly tart and you can taste the beer as well as the raspberries, equally I would say.

I'll get on and make the raspberry wheat next.

How long should I leave 1.2kg of IQF raspberries in my batch of cream ale??

CorneliusAlphonse · Post by **CorneliusAlphonse** » Mon Jul 28, 2014 6:42 pm

2weeks

I find colour is fully transferred by one week but left it one more.

I’ve only done raspberries once but it turned out really great. I blended the raspberries in a blender and left them for 2 days only.

Crash cool sufficient, or cheese cloth on end of auto-siphon?

jacinthebox · Post by **jacinthebox** » Thu Jul 31, 2014 11:36 am

cold crash worked for me

My puree had all settled after 2 days without chilling. Got chilled later in the kegs.

Thanks guys, I'll report back my findings (though I've sorta fucked up this thread with offtopic 'cream ale' talk)

No, it's been enhanced. I changed the title to Raspberry beer.

Good luck with the cream ale.

Raspberry beer is very inticing. The tart flavour, in my opinion, have the same sort of complementing effect as souring beer

Yes! I'm hooked for sure. Which reminds me, I have to stop drinking it soon, or I'll be done in tomorrow. Kathleen says raspberries have tartaric acid in them. I think that's what I'm digging. The main acid in them is citric, but tartaric acid has a very potent acidic/tart flavour.

Thanks Justin. That sounds really good, and very clever, but it is too close to melena, which is a medical word for stool with old blood in it. It is the most foul smelling thing on this earth (smells like rotting animals). Also a serious and life threatening condition. For anyone else who didn't know that, it would work though. Wouldn't be able to serve it in hospital social club I fear

Mark... That's exactly what I thought when I read that name out loud. Melena is a most vile smell. Smell it once, and you never forget. You can diagnose a patient just by walking in the room.
