since no ones posting much tonight, & i have this *burning* question in my brain ...
did a coopers pale ale k&k with 0.5kg dextrose 1.0kg dme late feb with 2 apples & 2 pears that were boiled in 1l of water. put it all together & fermented it out. racked it for cc for couple weeks & kegged it last night. while its definitely drinkable, the apple/pear flavour is barely visible. at most the pear has some aftertaste. the fruit was from local harris farm so not exactly 'quality'. did i just choose poorly or should i have done something else ? (yes i did check some recipes on google & here). am i expecting too much ?
