Well, I guess it could be said that I’ve started on my seventh batch of beer. I’m going to be attempting to make a berry ale, and the recipe which I hope to follow can be found here.
I’ve got two kilograms of berries slowly freezing. It’s one part each blueberries, marionberries, raspberries, and strawberries. The first three berries were part of a frozen blend and the strawberries were fresh, all purchased from Costco. I ended up having far more strawberries than I needed (I purchased a four pound container) so I cleaned and stored the rest for another day.
So, hopefully it’ll be good… I’m hoping for a nice reddish beer with some great berry flavor to it. We’ll see…
Oh my! I’m all about berry ale.
Sounds yummy! I hope I can try some!
Awww man…that’s going to be lovely. :)
Marionberries ?
That’s what I had thought, but I figured they would be decent. Give this a glance — it seems they only grow in the Pacific Northwest, in particular the Oregon area. They seem to be like blackberries, but with a slightly more tart flavor. They really do compliment raspberries pretty well…
Ah, they would appear to be similar to tayberries, of which I was given a plant/ sprawling mass last year. Somewhere between rasps and blacks, and almost but not quite sour. If not the food of the gods, certainly in the fruit salad thereof.
Heh, yep. That sounds very similar… :)
