Description:

I just finished a strawberry beer that I love.

When I bottled it it tasted tart as hell — but a week later I started drinking it and it was great! It’s a bit bitter, but the strawberry is very noticeable and everyone seems to enjoy it (especially me!).

Ingredients:

• 6 lb. pale male extract
• 1 lb. amber malt extract
• 1 lb. light crystal malt
• 2 oz. hops (can’t remember what kind I used, but 1 oz. was for 60

Procedure:

I cleaned and pureed all the strawberries in a blender, added about half a gallon of water to them, and boiled them seperately from my wort for about 15 mins. (my pot wasn’t big enough to fit ‘em). Cooled them and my wort and added the rest of the water. Pithced the yeast. The blowoff was amazing! (I probably lost about 1 1/2 gallons of beer). Tons of it. I heated the pectin enzyme in a little water and added it to the secondary (to eliminate pectin haze). Let it sit in a secondary for three weeks. When I bottled it it tasted tart as hell — but a week later I started drinking it and it was great!

Description:

Crystal malt adds sweetness, and helps to bring out the essence of the fruit. One other important ingredient was pectic enzyme, as the pasteurization sets the pectin very well. This results in a very nice looking crystal clear beer with a pink-amber hue.

Ingredients:

• 3.3 pounds, M&F amber hopped syrup
• 3–1/2 pounds, dry light malt
• 1 pound, crushed crystal malt
• 1 ounce, Northern Brewer leaf hops, (alpha=8.0%) 1 hour boil
• 8 pints, fresh strawberries, washed, stemmed, pureed
• 4 Tablespoons, pectin enzyme
• Ale yeast starter

Procedure:

Make a yeast starter by boiling 1 cup dry malt extract in a quart of water and cool to below 90 degrees F. Add four of Red Star Ale yeast and agitate. Let set for two hours.

Steep crystal malt in 1 gallon of water for a while, then “rinse” in another 1–1/2 gallons. (I preboil.) Add malt and boiling hops and boil liquid for 1 hour. Turn down heat to very low flame and add pureed strawberries, heat for 15-20 minutes. Remove hops then cool wort. Dump in primary fermenter and add cold bottled water. The temp should be around 65-70. Dump in the yeast starter. The next day or sooner, add about 4 tablespoons of pectic enzyme, right into the beer. Rack after 3- 4 days. Bottle with 3/4 cup corn sugar.
