STORY

Overview: Rapturous Raspberry 5 Gallon is a fruity raspberry cerveza brewed with Coopers Mexican Cerveza HME, Coopers Amber Malt, S-04 yeast, and 4 lb of pureed frozen red raspberries. It delivers sweet-tart berry flavor, clean malt character, subtle hop aroma, and a refreshing 5% finish.

PROFILE

Tasting Notes: Expect a medium-bodied fruit beer with bright raspberry flavor, tart berry balance, light malt sweetness, and a clean finish. It has enough fruit character to stand out, but stays refreshing enough for warm-weather drinking.

IMPORTANT BREWING NOTE

Fruit Addition Note: The raspberry puree is added on brew day before pitching yeast. This adds fruit flavor, color, fermentable sugars, and extra sediment to the beer.

Fermentation Activity Note: Raspberry puree may increase visible fermentation activity. This is normal. Keep the fermenter somewhere safe in case foam or liquid escapes.

    Its so easy its almost like cheating.

    This is the second time I've purchased this kit. So far it is my favorite beer that I have brewed. I made the mistake of giving most of it away last time...I will not be making that mistake again.
