Hey everyone,
I've been asked to brew something for a peach festival in our town and was wondering if anyone had some tips for working with peaches. The base is a cream ale, 5%abv 12ibu, 9bbl batch. What we have to work with is 160lbs fresh peaches that we diced and froze, 60lbs Oregon peach puree, and 1 gal peach extract. A lot of different options, but I'd rather use the fresh peaches since they came from the local farmers who are hosting the festival and we have a ton of it. Does anyone have suggestions for dosing/application? The current plan is to add the fruit at the very end of primary and extract if needed in secondary, but having used the extract before there is a definite artificial flavor to it I'd rather avoid. Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Sean
