had a little american left in the tank after racking it out and wanted to fool around with some fruit extract.
bought a blueberry extract from a well known supplier.
bottle said 2 oz per 5 gal of beer.
tried 3 oz but didn't taste any fruit. put the rest of the bottle in and still just a slight hint. went out and bought 3 more 4oz bottles. ended up adding all 16 oz of extract to the 5 gal keg and only got a slight taste of blueberry!
anyone ever experience the same thing with such extracts? (being way too weak / dosage way off)
any product out there that you'd recommend for adding a fruit flavor to a lighter beer (per keg not a whole batch)?
(not really into the whole fruit beer thing for my brewpub just thought it'd be nice to bring some fruity beer to my female cousin's college graduation party...i know it'll be a hit there!)
