After leaving Reddit one thing I was missing was the home brewing community, really glad to see there’s a thriving one here!

I tend to experiment and make off the walls type of beers, this one’s technically maybe a hefe? I added more grains to get it to be more of an imperial beer, clocking in at a whopping 9%. I then let it sit on 6 pounds (2.72kg) of blue berries and 4 pounds (1.81kg) of kiwi. It came out deceivingly light tasting for how strong it is, but it’s got a nice tart flavor on the back end from the berries and kiwi.

      Thank you! It certainly is tasty. And yeah, I remember seeing on a Facebook group when someone asked about concentrating soda into a syrup to use in a sour the comments were all saying that’s an awful idea, the follow up post after they did it they mentioned it turned out awesome. Between that and the brewery near me which specializes in candied sours and off the walls things, I’ve gotten a lot of inspiration. Hoping to post more here once life settles down a bit and I can brew more often.

      I like to experiment with things like this. I want to make something like “beerider” or “cibeer”. Make some wort, mix it with apple juice and ferment.
