I just added fruit to my SSBT unitank for the first time. While the beer turned out great and as expected, I have a question.
Getting all the fruit out of the tank was a bit of an issue. It was 3.5lbs of quartered strawberries and 2.5lbs of rhubarb cut up into 1.5" long sections. I was going to bag the fruit and put it in for ease of removal but when I filled the bags, they were too big around and wouldn't fit through the port on the top of the unitank, so I added it all in loose. When it came time to clean, I had to lug the tank out to my back yard and dump everything. Even then, it took some shaking to get it all out.
Anyone used fruit in their unitank? How'd you do it? Any tips or tricks?
