With the unseasonably warm few days here in the northeast I really got the itch to make some fruit beers for the summer. I do have some questions about them that I could use some help with:
I am thinking of using a wheat beer as a base for all of these beers. I'm thinking like a Hefe. I'm looking for a extract or partial mash recipe. Anyone have a good one? If not I'm going to use the Northern Brewer Bavarian Hefeweizen one gallon kit as a base.
I've noticed that there is a debate in whether to rack to a secondary and use fresh fruit or add extract at bottling. I want to do a blueberry and an apricot version of these and both extracts are readily available. What do you think?
Thanks for your help in advance!
