    Hi All,
    Just a quick question. I started a Bavarian wheat in the primary last night and am considering adding fruit during the secondary. Anyone know what pairs well with Bavarian wheat? I plan to use pasteurized whole fruit rather than extract.
    Thanks for the advice.

    Although I haven't made one myself, I have tasted a couple of good Blueberry Hefe's.

    Apricot might be nice.

    I would lean apricots, but blueberries worked for me the one time I tried a fruit beer (added them to a secondary on a blonde ale, came out slightly tart, slightly blue, light but detectable fruit, and quite tasty).

    thanks all... I am considering the fruit not to be overpowering, just a light taste so may try apricot, lemon zest or rasp.
