Before I go ruin a batch I wondered if anyone had a reason why this wild idea would be an issue.
So far this is what I have done/seen through my brewing process.
There is a local brewery that makes a blueberry/coffee/vanilla sour, and it is fantastic. So I want to try and make something similar.
I have a philly sour neipa style going now. I want to finish fermenting and with the spunding it will carbed. Then I want to cold crash, then mash blueberries and throw in them and the pellet hops loose into the corny. Also somehow add coffee.
So all of the fruit/pellet hops/trub will hopefully sink to the bottom and I can pull beer off the top.
Concerns that I have are:
I read a few posts about fruit sitting on trub causing problems. But have not seen a conclusive answer.
Will the pellet hops sink without a mesh spider?
Will coffee go bitter after a while?
So far this is what I have done/seen through my brewing process.
- I ferment and serve regularly out of the same keg using a floating dip tube setup in a corny and pressure ferment with a spunding valve
- No issues so far with it sitting on the trub for long times.
- Also no issues so far with cold hopping (although I've been using a mesh spider to contain them). No grassy flavors after a month in there.
- I have mashed raspberries and thrown them in to the keg with no issues, they sink and do not get picked up in floating dip tube.
