Adding Peaches to a Wheat Beer

[jasonclick]

I went to a beer fest over this past weekend and one of the beers I liked was a Peach Wheat Beer by RJ Rockers... I think the name was Son of a Peach. Anyways, I brewed a 5 gallon batch of Bell's Oberon Clone (wheat beer) last weekend. I was thinking I could siphon off 1 gallon and add peaches to it and try and make a peach wheat.

So the question is, how would I add peaches? Thanks.

This may sound odd, but the common wisdom on peaches is that you should use apricots instead. Their flavor stands up better to fermentation and may even come out more "peachy" at the end of the day. Check out Mosher's Radical Brewing if you want more info on this.

When you want to add fruit to a beer you generally add the fruit to your secondary and rack the beer on top of it.
