It's a great way of trying different things without risking a full batch of beer. Let me know how the dried fruit works out. Hmm, I've got some dried cherries... I'll also ask the Dix brewer about his currant-wheat beer the next time that I see him. Hi Tikigirl,

Have you considered syphoning off a small portion of the beer after secondary fermentation and using that to make the Lambic? It’s a great way of trying different things without risking a full batch of beer.

Let me know how the dried fruit works out. Hmm, I’ve got some dried cherries…

I’ll also ask the Dix brewer about his currant-wheat beer the next time that I see him.

I collected several pounds of wild currants over the weekend and am in the process of drying them. I'm hoping that, like raisins, the sugars will be more concentrated in the dried berry.

I've heard that the ><a href="http://www.markjamesgroup.com/dix.html" title="Dix Brewery" rel="nofollow">Dix black-currant wheat beer</a> is pretty good, so don't let my experience discourage you from experimenting.
