It's time to start another batch of homebrew... but I'm not sure what to start. I suppose it is going to be heading in to fall by the time the beer is ready to drink, so I should think about something that fits the changing weather. Raspberries are become readily available... maybe I will do a raspberry porter. That sounds yummy. I've always wanted to add fruit to the secondary fermenter and never have. That will require are longer period of aging, but sounds fun. So many "fruit" beers are actually made with flavoring or essence, so the beer ends up tasting a bit like a scented candle. Commercial brewers do this because real fruit is very unpredictable, but as a homebrewer, unpredictable sound interesting. Alright, I've talked myself into it. Raspberry Porter here I come. The brew will commence on Saturday or Sunday.
