  • Hibiscus/rose hips

    Anyone have any experience using these? We are looking to add this to our grisette. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    I have used rose hips before in a farmhouse ale. I would recommend using restraint as rose can become quite soapy/ perfume-y in excess. It was a while ago but I believe I used about 12oz/bbl bagged and made into a tincture then added directly into the oak barrels.

        If you want the color, use it on the cold side.

        I use it post ferment to turn a Belgian strong into a rosé.

        Go light, as previously stated. Flavor can be quite floral. 4-6oz/bbl in a bag, cold steeped for two days seems to work.

          Like previously stated, rose hips will go a long way.


          In 5BBLs, I typically will whirlpool a pound of hibiscus in a 5%-ish sour, in this same sour we added 4 ounces of rose hips and that would still peek through a little bit.
