I will be bottling up the Breferm Kriek i have had fermenting for almost two weeks tonight and without wanting to run before i can walk in the home brewing world i was after some advice.
I have checked many of the threads on this and other brewing forums but wanted to make sure i had the basic principle correct before i waste time and money...
If i were to make my own fruit beer, raspberry, strawberry etc would this be the correct way to go about it?
Follow the instructions on a wheat beer kit and instead of adding the 1kg (depending on kit) of sugar i should work out the amount of sugar in the ingredients i am adding, for example raspberry cordial and then top up with additional sugar if needed. I would then leave it to ferment and rack of into primed bottles when fermentation is completed.
Also, if i were to use whole fruit not a concentrate whats the best was of going about it?
Thanks in advance!
