I found this recipe when looking for a beer to incorporate persimmon pulp from my tree into. I added 2lbs of purÃ©ed raw pulp to the primary in the 3rd week and it went for one week longer than the recipe with the fruit addition. Fantastic beer! Thank you for laying the ground work. As a relative beginner without the gear for all grain, I found this to be a great recipe. Cheers!
