Strawberry Beer Recipe

[WyldKnyght]

Hello,

I'm looking for a strawberry beer recipe for my wife. She's not a big beer drinker, doesn't like the after taste, so I was hoping to find something flavored that would peak her interest.

Any suggestions?

What I do is brew a Kolsch , Cream Ale, or Blonde ale and then go to the bulk barn and get some concentrated extracts for like $2 each. dip a drink sword into the bottle then stir that in a pint and you have a whatever tasting beer. They have strawberry, cherry, raspberry, etc. This way you don't have to have a whole keg of flavored beer incase someone else wants a straight up pint.

This is great advice especially when it comes to strawberry. It’s a very hard to capture that flavor, I would be interested to see how it’s done win Fruili

The extracts are a great idea. Mckay75 and I did a Berliner Weisse last summer and he did all these awesome ones he got me onto and super easy. We mixed in a few table spoons per pint. 1 cup fruit, 1/2 cup sugar 1/4 cup water and boil on stove for a few minutes. Strain into bowl and refrigerate. Use any fruit or combo you think of. And like Brian said you don't have to have a whole keg of fruit beer. I enjoyed the strawberry one allot in the sour.

I almost forgot! If the 1 cup for fruit is frozen it's best to warm and then put it in the bullet or blender then boil. If fresh then straight to the blender and then boil.

I used strawberries in a blonde ale last year. The fermented strawberries was very weird taste in the final product. I would stay away from strawberries and use extract like LiverDance said.

Not only that but even after a month after fermentation was done, I had quite a few bottle bombs. I’m guessing it had to do with the bottling sugar, sugar in the berries and the yeast fermenting in bottle.

That's the beauty of making your own extract it's in the fridge and you add it to a poured pint and don't ferment it at all. Super easy and tasty as hell. I still have left over frozen Strawberries from August when we took our girls to a local u pick to get them.

Hey Craig! I make a strawberry rhubarb (actually have an all grain kit for it on the site) that is one of my wife's favorites. Next time I brew it I'll let you know and you can take a bottle home for her to try. I would also suggest maybe trying out a Mangrove Jacks cider kit (I stock those too if you are interested). They come in many different flavors; strawberry and pear being one. They are a bit sweeter if that is her thing and she may like it better than beer.

Cheers!
