Rather than clutter up the 'what are you drinking' thread posting my apricot ale recipe thought i'd share it here.
Is a bit of a mongrel combo really,
2kg pilsner malt
1kg LDM
25g Cascade (unsure of %)
2kg net weight of fresh apricots, halved, pitted and also frozen to burst the 'juice' cells
SafAle S-04
500g dried apricots into secondary, blanched to kill any 'dodgies'
Mini mash pilsner malt on the stove in approx. 6lt pot, sparged into bigger pot to obtain about 8-9lt of wort.
Cascade in at 45min, thawed apricots in at 15min
60min boil
everything into the primary and topped up to 19lt
pitched yeast and left for 2wks
racked to secondary with addition of 500g of dried apricots
bottled 5 days later primed with half the usual amount as I didn't want much fizz
Told you it was a mongrel recipe, feel free to chip in with advice, modifications or whatever.
Next time I will up the fruit content and probaly change the hop for something a bit more fruit friendly.
