Hey Garrett
I let them sit for 10 minutes or so. Not long, just enough to soften them up and quasi-pasteurize them. And I normally ferment most ales at 65-68F in general. Pilsner malt is just a light base malt and can be used in ale brewing as well as lager brewing…. if that’s what you’re getting at. If not ask us another question and I’ll help clarify.

After you sliced the strawberries, how long did you steep them in the near-boiling water before you put them into the secondary? And I saw you used pilsner malt, so did you change the fermentation temperature at all? Or did you just let it sit at 65-75 degrees F? Thanks!

Derek, good question, sorry I missed that detail in the original post.

I went with a 150F mash temp. A little lower than my normal 154F. I went lower to dry out the beer a bit more, making a crisper finish to go with the fruit flavor.
Hope that helps!

What mashing temps did you use? I’m looking for a good recipe to do for my first all-grain batch.
