Summer Peach Ale - 10 gallon

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).

    Peaches (fresh)

    Pink to orange flesh surround a large pit. Very sweet and juicy. Cling or clingstone peaches have a pit to which the flesh 'clings'; freestone peaches have a pit from which the flesh is easily pulled away.

  • 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.
