Helped my brother bottle his first batch in 5 years! A milk stout that was very tasty and sweet (FG came in at 1.020).

Busy day at the brewery. First I racked my six month old lambeec onto ten pounds of Montmorency cherries:

Then I split my two week old saison. Three one gallon batches on two pounds each of mango, kiwi and pomegranate respectively. The last three gallons had Cantillon Brett added. Now to wait!

And a big shout-out to coyote68 for the yeast! :rockin:
It doesnt look like it, but did you do anything to pasteurize the fruit? Last time I added fresh fruit (apricots) I briefly pasteurized but it wasn't enough. Most of those bottles became gushers.
I've never pasteurized fruit as it totally changes their flavor and I've never had a problem. I currently have an American Wheat on apricots. I rinsed the apricots in a tub of water, transferred them to a bucket of StarSan, then squished them enough to split them open, packed and froze them. They went into the beer as a 10 lbs ice cube.
Were the recently destroyed by the IRS! Somebody may be looking for them!!!
