Fruit beer is a non-specific term used to refer to several types of beer made with fruit.For the beer ( like larger, stout etc.) made by fruit added as an adjunct or flavouring. When adding fruit to a beer, the brewer must make sure the beer will work with the character of the fruit.
In general, lighter-bodied beers do work better with most fruits, and excessively bitter beers seem to fight the sweet and sour character of most fruit. As for color, lighter beers more easily meld with fruit. The best time to add fruit into the beer is the second fermentation.
By this time the crop of yeast should be strong, and conditions should be acidic, alcoholic, and nutrient-depleted enough to keep invading microbes at bay.
The perfect fruit, perfectly ripe, added in sufficient quantity will produce a profoundly complex beer. We need choose fresh fruit,because none of its taste or aroma have been lost or altered during processing. But most fruits are seasonal, so the brewer will be limited to making his beer only when the fruit is in season.
To solve this problem,we can use frozen fruit in a fruit beer. Buying frozen fruit or freezing by ourself when it’s at its peak,allows us to brew fruit beer when the fruit is not in season.
Also we use the frozen fruit, also can reduce microflora.
For sterlize the fruit, we think use sterlize container, commerical washing priducts or with sulfur dioxide is OK. Sterilize the fruit with sulfur dioxide also used by winemakers.
