A couple of Small Beers

So, After making the Double mango IPA today, I drained what was left in the mash tun and got about 2 gallons of 1030 wort.  So I said to myself, “Self, It would be stupid to waste this wort”.

So I boiled it up with a little hallertauer hops, and mad a couple of very small batches of fruit beer.  I boiled it down to about 6 quarts of volume, including the hops.

1 Batch got some Black berries, 1 Batch got some peaches.

I heated up the fruit in the microwave to both unthaw it, and hopefully pasteurize it a bit.

I then racked the wort on top of the fruit in a couple of 1 gallon jugs.

That’s it.  Just doing it for a fun experiment.  We’ll see how they turn out!

Fortunately, I had a little extra fresh yeast that arrived this week.

I’ve never made such a small amount of beer before, so it should be an interesting experiment.
