We did a pilot batch of seasonal stout using 3/4 pound of fresh figs per gallon of beer in secondary fermentation. It turned out lovely, with plenty of fig aroma and flavor. Now, on our 15bbl system, we're realizing fresh figs are not cost effective and wondered if dried figs would work.
Does anyone have thoughts on this? Also, because the water has been removed from dried figs, presumably a pound of dried figs would be a lot more "figgy" than a pound of fresh figs. Has anyone had experience substituting dried fruit for fresh? Any thoughts on the conversion rate?
Thanks,
