Fruit Flavorings

Homebrewing Fruit Flavorings

If you want to add fruit flavors to your beer or wine, but don’t want to deal with the mess that a homebrewing fruit puree can cause by upsetting sugar levels in your wort or restarting fermentation, flavor extracts are a great way to go. Some flavors, such as graham cracker and peanut butter are extremely hard to add to beer or wine without leaving an oil slick in the beer and dosing is always a question. You If you use natural fruit, you will need to add potassium sorbate (stablizer crystals) to make sure it doesn't ferment further. If you add sorbate to a batch of beer, you will not be able to naturally carbonate it with priming sugar as the sorbate will prevent the natural carbonation (bottle fermentation) from taking place. You will have to force carbonate the beer using co2 and a draft beer system such as our homebrew kegging system (co2, regulator and soda keg). We stock fruit flavorings in 4 oz fruit flavorings bottles and also by the 1 gallon fruit flavorings for those that are making larger batches or for winerys and brewerys.

Our flavorings are all natural.

Using our natural flavoring extracts allows you to control the dosing to your taste. Add a small amount and taste the beer or wine and see how you like it. If more is needed, keep adding the flavoring in small increments until you get the desired flavor. This is best done just prior to bottling or kegging. Give our homebrew flavor extracts a try in your next batch! You will be glad that you did!
