Ideas welcome.

That's freaky. I've made soup out of strained cucumber, might be worth trying......
OK, I have a plan laid out. Brew a 15 gallon base wheat beer, and then rack onto three different products, say a fruit beer, a vegetable beer, and something else - meat beer.
Ideas please. No kiwi though, I don't like kiwi.

My girlfriend suggested yesterday that I brew a pomegranate beer. I havent heard of anyone doing it but it sounds like it could be delicious if done properly. You could try that, and let me know how it goes! Once it gets a little warmer I will probably try my hand at one.

Tried some more non-typical fruits in my wheat beers. Kyle and I have put both Pineapple (good) and Pomegranate (with Pom juice instead of fresh fruit. It was ok) in a hefeweizen. I also tried to get ahold of some blackcurrants and some bake apples last summer, but that didn't pan out.

I wonder if we can get bake apples at eh Newfoundland store?
These won't be hefe's either, just want a basic American wheat as the base...

Bake Apple beer would be interesting. I should call my grandmother and see if she has any in her freezer. How much do you think would be needed in a 5gal batch?
Fresh bake apples will have to wait until the end of the summer. I can remember picking them as a kid but can't remember when they are ripe exactly.

I thought there might be some puree out there somewhere, or natural juice. I've seen some preserves at Sobeys. Probably need a fair bit per 5 gallon batch, 3lbs minimum...

Oh, ye of little imagination.
Saranac - Matt Brewing Company - Pomegranate Wheat
Major Tom's Pomegranate Wheat
And the Michelob comes in Pomegranate-Raspberry.
I don't know why this should all seem so strange/disgusting to me. I love the Belgian fruit beers, and I've even made my own Chili beer [tip: do NOT put whole hot peppers in beer bottles]

Send me a message if anyone has a recipe for bake apple beer. Sounds like a great beer if done right.

NG, an old bag I wanted to use up. Not very good efficiency with that stuff, can't say I'd buy it again. I thought we had toasted flakes though NCM (G&P).
