Worked well and helped chill the wort even more. <br /><br />This beer came out really well. I also gently crushed cherries to separate fruit from pits. Leaving the pits in the FV lent a really nice almond character to the chocolate and tart cherry flavors.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06923047190734297749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669869727509739184.post-49014397693286896172010-08-20T09:33:36.290-04:002010-08-20T09:33:36.290-04:00Did you do anything to the cherries before adding ...Did you do anything to the cherries before adding them in the primary besides wash them? I'm about to split my batch of Patersbier and I have about 3 lbs of North Star Tart Cherries from a friends cherry tree. I'm thinking about pasteurizing them at 170 for 10 minutes or so before adding to secondary. Any suggestions?Dank brewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08779478546239203006noreply@blogger.com
