Notes

Original recipe source: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/threads/really-easy-fruit-sour.675345/

Ferment until primary is nearly finished then rack onto fruit. Try to rack just BEFORE reaching FG so the yeast are still active to scrub oxygen picked up during transfer. It normally takes about 4 to 5 days to this point.

Use Dragon Fruit, Mango, Passion Fruit Blend from Costco for fruiting. Two bags per 5 gallon. Put fruit into bags to avoid pieces being left in beer after fruiting.
