Thanks for the fab response. I have found that 30 oz. of extract and 3.5-4# of fruit per Bbl. works pretty well for me, kind of a hybrid approach. I add the extract at the end of the boil, and add the fruit (I.Q.F. berries that I get from U.S. Foods) after high krausen. What I would like to do in the future (since this beer moves so slow, and it's novelty runs thin rather quickly with our customers) is add fruit directly to a keg (use different fruits, in limited quantities). The previous brewer would add fruit to Corny kegs. I would prefer to use 1/2 Bbl kegs. Any ideas or apprehensions about doing this? I haven't figured out a way to do this without mixing the fruit into the fermentor first.
