Real fruit is hard. It can be done. I went with flavor extracts. Why? It was simple. I could make a wheat batch and then flavor half of it. I don’t like fruit beers. I need a shirt that says “Don’t fruit my beer!” My wife in the other hand only drinks fruited beers.
Ha, I like that and I have heard that term before on some brew sites. I love fruited wheat beers. Not a big fan of sours though. A lot of my local breweries use real fruit in their wheat beers and I've had more success than failure with real fruit too. Some of my favorite local beers use flavor extracts, but mainly for things like blueberry and watermelon to get that familiar flavor that the real deal doesn't often give especially in beer. I did an extract brew from a kit and added some pureed raspberries to the secondary and it was my favorite brew I ever made. It tasted just like the Abita raspberry lager which is one of my favorites. Definitely trying to chase that high again all grain BIAB.
