I'm planning to do an adaptation of one of DIY Dog Hello my name is recipes...and given the missus is called Marianne it seemed that this was probably the one to try.

The recipe is:

Batch size is 20L

Fermentables
5.5 kg Maris Otter Pale Malt
0.12KG Caramalt
1.5L Ribena or Blackcurrant Cordial - Late Addition
Additional Sugar to achieve S.G.

Hop Schedule
25g Simcoe - 60m - Bittering
25g Chinook - 30m - Flavour
25g Simcoe - Flamout or Dry Hop

25g Citra - Dry Hop - Aroma
25g Chinook - Dry Hop - Aroma
25g Centennial - Dry Hop - Aroma

Protofloc - 15 min

Yeast US-05

Planned S.G 1.075
Expected F.G 1.014

ABV around 8.22%

I've toned down the hop profile a bit as the recipe looks a bit over the top. There is 25g of simcoe to slot in either as a dry hop or at flameout to nail down. I'd rather not use more than 50g so its got to be either or.

Depending on how it ferments I may do a secondary over 500g of frozen blackcurrants if I can get em and if it needs it.
 
I think the cordial may be unfermentable or mostly. Why not just add Cassis?

I was just following the notes from DIY Dog, so was just planning to pitch in 1.5 litres of full sugar Ribena and top off with sugar to hit the proper s.g.

"Save yourself a lot of hassle and buy the
blackcurrant as a concentrate or cordial.
Ribena time!"

I'm still learning so I take these things as written. I would imagine you could just brew it with more grain and sugar and then add syrup to the glass as if it was a berlinner weisse and get the same if not a better effect.
