Notes
Acidulated malt bag broke in the begaining of the boil, So I did a seperate 30 min boil for it then strained. Some of the Acidulated malt burned (I'm thinking this will actually add a nice flavor to this beer). For everything else, it was a 2 hour boil(hops added for the last 90 min & 1 lb cranberries for the last 15 min). I also threw in bag of priming sugar & a couple packets of ginsing tea for s**** & giggles. will keep in primary until fermentation dies down signifigantly then rack to secondary & add lactic acid, Wyeast 4335 Lactobacillus delbrueckii, & 1 more lb of cranberries (should be a nice sour brew!) Will bottle when fermentation dies down. I'm gonna age this one a bit. I'm in the process of looking for a house with my girlfriend & will open the first bottle the day we find one & move in (hence the housewarming name). Anyways, I estimate 2-3 months, but you may want to age this one longer; I expect this one may need a little mellowing out depending on your taste.

Should be titled "Housewarming Cranberry Oud Bruin". For some reason I can't edit the title. DOH! Although I was originally going to use cherries, I changed my mind at the supermarket.
Alcohol (%weight) : 6.66 %

I snuck a glass of it a couple nights ago (it's delicious!) Anyways, decided to prime it with half rasberries(1/2 pint) & half sugar. I'll post back on how it turns out.
???? fruit in the bottle???

this sounds very good, i'm wondering though, what would happen if, when you prime the batch in bulk and bottle it, i added fruit. i.e. a cherry and or cranberries to the bottle then added the beer and capped it off? would the sugar in the fruit over-carbonate the beer in finishing/ageing?, or would the alcohol just get amped from the extra sugar?
