Howdy Y'all,
at work yesterday one of our students was juicing pomegranates and automatically the first thing I thought was I want to ferment the juice in some beer!!
Now I was thinking around 8L incase it tastes awful and I cant drink it.
For simplicity I was thinking 2kg of Ale malt mashed at about 66-67 for some longer sugars to balance all the short sugars in the juice. Made up to 8L with 1L being pomegranate juice. Oh and for hops maybe about 20IBU worth of EKG at 60 and 10 or something like that!! Oh and maybe some US-05 as yeast, I have plenty kicking around.
Will keep people posted with results (including tasting with food techs and students at work)
Cheers,
Colby
Oh and PS I havent made it into the obvious choice, a wheat beer, cos I dont like em!!
