How to Add Fruit to Beer (Without Ruining It)

 

Fruiting beer is a broad subject and most guides give you the same generic answer regardless of what fruit you're adding. In this video we go style by style — citrus, berries, stone fruit, bananas — covering how to prep each, when to add it, and what each one does to the final beer. What's covered: - Citrus (lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit) — zest vs juice, when to add - Berries (strawberry, raspberry, blackberry, blueberry) — fresh, frozen, puree - Stone fruit (peach, pear, apple) — pectin and pectic enzyme - Bananas — yes, really, and how - Pasteurization, campden, sorbate — when you actually need them Chapters (approximate — verify in Studio): 0:00 Intro 1:30 Citrus 5:30 Berries 10:00 Stone fruit (and pectin) 14:00 Bananas and weirder additions 16:30 Sanitation: campden, sorbate, pasteurization 18:30 Wrap-up Visit our website: https://www.genusbrewing.com Connect with us: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/GenusBrewing Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NuHomeBrew Send us beer to review: 17018 E Sprague Ave Unit 101, Greenacres, WA 99016
