Fruit Experiment Review #7 — Purée after primary

Kurt @ Fermentation Adventures · December 24, 2024 · 7:57 · Watch on YouTube ↗

Kurt from Fermentation Adventures used aseptic strawberry purée with Amoretti strawberry Artisan natural flavor, added after primary fermentation — so the fruit contributes all flavor and no fermentation byproducts. The result is one of the cleanest beers in the series: real strawberry presence over a still-recognizable base beer, with no hot-side yeast esters at all.

The review uses this beer to lock in the series' central finding: strawberries added before fermentation bring estery, stressed-yeast complexity; strawberries added after bring clean, direct fruit flavor. "Balanced" wins again as the word of the day.
