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! |

Tasting notes:
Gretchen does not like this beer.
I however think there is way to much rye in it and it tastes funny. The mouth feel is malt forward and low hop. The finish is not present, it has a strange sharp finish that isn't like other beers. |

Actual amount of priming sugar to be determined by volume and temperature. Peanut Butter Powder goes in last 10 minutes of boil and Vanilla Bean goes for about 10 days in secondary (or until fermentation is complete). Vodka is to soak/sanitize vanilla bean in freezer while beer is in primary fermentation.
5/14/16 First Brew Ingredients:
Chocolate Malt was 500, not 425. Caramel/Crystal was is Bairds 60-80L. Munich was American 6L. Minor adjustments at Homebrew supply.
Adding 3 more 6.5oz bags of the peanut butter powder either mixed with vodka or boiled with water...haven't decided yet. But definitely needs more peanut flavor. |
