SWMBO loves Shiner Prickly Pear and it is no longer in production as of this Spring. So, I've been put to the task of brewing a batch for the upcoming sweltering Texas summer. I'm ordering this puree off amazon to add (Im thinking after primary fermentation) in lieu of actually having any prickly pear fruit. I believe Prickly Pear uses a kolsch yeast iirc. I just need some recipe suggestions. I came across one on HBT at some point, but idk where it is now. I have a bit of a starting point I think....
