Notes:
I had 3kg of feijoa pulp in the freezer. I thawed this in a large pot and mashed it up into a gloopy mess. I added 1 crushed campden tablet to kill any bugs then transferred to a glass carboy. I filled carboy up to the 2L mark with the feijoa and left for 24 hours. I then racked the wheat onto the feijoa up to the 18.5L mark to give it enough headspace for the re-ferment.
I had some wheat left over so thawed an 800g of frozen berries I happened to have(50% strawberry and 50% blackberry) and racked onto that. Amazing to see the differences between the two. Colour, clarity and flavour were so different. Enjoy the feijoa one people.

If it was me, I wouldn't halve the amount, if you put 3kg into the beer first ime I'd drop it to 2kg and if it need dropping from there do it on brew #3.
If you need any, I have some ripening as well.

I've got 2 trees in the garden so no shortage of them for me. I thawed out 3kg and mushed it all up, but I didn't add it all. I just filled to the 2L mark so there was some left over.
