Need to make something light, low IBU, with strawberry flavor for a Sister and Mother who "don't like beer". I've researched a bunch and understand strawberry flavor is difficult: the plan would be frozen strawberries in secondary bucket and then add extract at bottling if needed. Not sure the hops to compliment strawberry flavor; I've chosen Amarillo and Hersbrucker. Sampled a Abita Strawberry Harvest Lager last night (for "research"); the label says they use Vanguard. http://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/r ... -ruby-june Planning to brew this one toward the end of the month. Thanks in advance for feedback.
I found a table somewhere that recommends 10 pounds of strawberries for five pounds of beer. Be sure and pasteurize those strawberries. I didn't once and the result was a gusher. good luck and let us know how it turns out.
Make that five gallons of beer. Sometimes voice recognition on this phone makes interesting mistakes.
