I am planning a batch of Belgian blond, which I intend to split after primay and rack one half onto chokecherries. The question is just how much chokecherries. I have found a recipe for a chokecherry wit which specifies 0.7 lbs of berries per gallon of beer. Does that seem reasonable if I am after a distinct aroma, taste and color from the berries?
Not being a native English speaker has gotten me a bit confused, however. It seems as if the word chokecherry in America refers to Prunus Virginiana, and what I have is Prunus Padus (which seems to be called bird cherry), which has smaller berries. So perhaps I should use more than 0.7 lbs/gallon?
