Summer Peach Ale - 10 gallon
Fruit Beer • All Grain • 10 gal
This isummer ale with peach taste didn't provide the peach flavor I had hoped for. I believe the the active fermentation may have diluted the peach flavor. I would suggest adding the peaches after the initial fermentation (day3 or 4).

Wyeast 1099 Whitbread Ale™
Wyeast 1099 Whitbread Ale™
A mildly malty and slightly fruity fermentation profile; not as tart and dry as 1098 and much more flocculant. Clears well without filtration.
Notes
I used 8pounds of fresh peaches, pureed them and added them to the primary fermenter for one week. Peaches contain a considerable amount of sugar which serve to lighten body and add alcohol content. If sterilization is a concern, add some water to puree and raise to 160 degrees being careful not to boil.
