Liqueurs

What it does :

Liqueurs provide several advantages as a flavoring in beer. They provide a consistent, concentrated source of fruit flavor and aroma, they are antiseptic, and they can double as a priming agent because of their fermentable sugar content. Depending on the dosage, and the strength of the liqueur, the beer’s alcoholic content will at most rise 1-2 percent.

What it is:

Liqueurs are strong, syrupy alcoholic beverages that combine a neutral distilled spirit with a fruit, spice, herb, or other flavoring. Common fruit liqueur flavors include cherry, blackberry, blueberry, orange, peach, raspberry, strawberry, orange, and black currant.

Dosage:

Use up to 3 cups of liqueur per 5 gallons. Add at bottling.
