Fijoa?
Our Fijoa trees are covered in wee fruit. We will be inundated when they start dropping.
Has anyone here used them in a brew with success? Thinking of doing a Saison with em, or perhaps a wheat beer. Also toying with the idea of doing a wheat heavy Belgian Blond with perhaps a smaller amount of fijoa?
Obviously I have some time left to plan.
Thoughts?

I did a feijoa wheat last year. I thawed about 2kg of feijoa pulp and mashed it into a gloop. I added a crushed Camden tablet to kill any bugs and left for 24hrs. I filled the fermenter up to the 2L mark and added beer up to the 18.5L mark. It was good except the feijoa was a bit overwhelming. I would half the amount next time. It wasn't a hoppy beer I did but if it was I don't think you'd notice them over the fruit.

Hmmmmm, I'm leaning towards a blond ale with maybe 750g of feijoa.

Did you try the feijoa blonde in the end? Keen to hear how it turned out.
