Notes: **Batch 1**
This was a delicious fruit beer. I had a hard time locating real passionfruit, so I used a 100% juice blend. The label on the juice said it was 100% juice, but also had pear listed as an ingredient, so I'm not sure what the ratio of pear to passionfruit was. The mango had more presence than the passionfruit, probably because of the use of juice. Need to find real passionfruit for the next brew, or possibly use real pear.
*I found out later that commercial breweries use powdered passionfruit, which is available online. I'll try this for my next batch
Use 1lb fruit per gallon of beer. I pureed the mango and placed it in hop bags in the secondary. For my 5 gallons, it ended up being 6 diced mangos.
**Batch 2**
Used the same recipe, but tried using powdered passionfruit. I learned a few good lessons from this beer. The powder is surprisingly effective and when hydrated it smelled amazing. I added it at kegging which was a mistake. Next batch needs to be only powder without the fresh mangos. I'd like to try powdered passionfruit and powdered mango. The only drawback to this is that the powder is expensive. I used one pouch of passionfruit powder and it was $9 plus shipping. The biggest lesson I learned is that I need to stop using fruit juice. Its sugars are fermenting out to the point where I don't think it's adding much flavor and is really drying the beer out. Lots of changes to be made on the next batch.
**Batch 3**
Again I used the same recipe, but in keeping with the last few years I wanted to try and experiment with the best result of getting the fruit flavor into the beer.
In January I went to a local brewer's convention and met some people from Amoretti flavoring company. I tried their passionfruit and it was what I was looking for, so I bought a 25.4oz bottle of the puree. I used half of it while kegging, along with one pouch of the passionfruit powder I had leftover from last year. I skipped the mango altogether this year (I know, I know....)
I tasted the beer while I was checking my FG, and the powder that I added at knockout had only imparted a mild flavor in beer. It tasted slightly tangy, but not bad. The puree that I added at kegging really brought this beer to where I wanted it to be.
This beer is delicious, and finally fruity and light! Perfect summer beer! |

Notes: Obtaining the enzyme extract:
after 30 min at 60 C pull and filter 500 ml of wort. Cool it (possibly in an ice bath) and put aside. Use that enzymatic active wort to wake up the yeast and then add it to the beer along with the yeast. It will continue the breakdown of dextrins during primary fermentation.
NOTE: Don't bottle condition this beer unless you you know if the breakdown of dextrins is complete. |

Notes: Dry hopped with Australian Topaz hops for pear/lychee fruit nose and flavor. Munich Malt for flavor. I make my IPA's on the low end of the ABV scale at 6% because I drink the hell out of them and dont want to be permamanently shitfaced. o.O You could add 2 lbs more malt to push this over 7%. 1/2 whirlfloc. 2 tsp gypsum. Double batch sparge. 17 quarts at 164 water = 153 mash temp. Sparge 3.6 gal total, at 175, split 1.8 gal twice.

| Notes: Hit my target mash temp and efficiency on the button. Left out the mashout again to see if it would make a difference. Ended up with a lower than expected OG when going into the fermenter but will still be above 8 which is pretty solid. The sugar was muscovado. Fermentation ended a little sooner than expected so I am going to pitch a starter of Dry English Ale to get a little more attenuation. Stalled out at 1.026 and want to get it down to about 1.018. |

Notes: To brew this Dogfish Head Raison D’Etre clone, mash grains at 152°F (67°C) for 60 minutes. Mash out at 158°F (70° C) for 10 minutes. Sparge and bring to a boil, adding hops at specified intervals.
Halfway through boil, remove two cups of wort from kettle and soak raisins for 10-20 minutes. Puree in a blender and add back to kettle 10 minutes from the end of the boil, along with the candi sugar. Shut off the boil and add aromatic hops.
Chill to 70°F (21°C), aerate or oxygenate well and pitch ale yeast slurry. Ferment at 70-75°F (21-24°C) until fermentation is complete. |
