I just broke my arm so all grain is out for a month or two but I have to brew for the other half's birthday. I luckily got a nice big IPA on the day before I broke my arm...how I am gonna keg it is another matter!

So I ordered l light DME and wheat DME in an attempt to get a boil going and not have to lift anything too heavy. I have never used DME apart from making a starter.She wants a wit after our trip to Belgium where we had a nice peach wit one evening. She doesn't like beer so I was hoping this might be a breakthrough moment!

I plan to use
2k wheat DME
1.5 light DME
Goldings to about 15IBU
orange zest30gish
Corriander Seed roughly 15g

wyeast belgian abbey 1214 (shop didn't have the wit)

Then I am going to add peach purée or extract to the keg so the beer will be slightly sweet (something the non beer geek ladies will enjoy)

So how am I looking?

Should I give the peach some time in secondary or is straight to keg ok? Maybe up the IBU's to take away some sweetness?
 
Add Peach to secondary NOT the keg or you will be sucking up peach purée when you serve
 
That had crossed my mind! How long would you leave it there?
 
probably no more that a couple of days . . When making Peach wine its not a good idea to ferment on the pulp as it can taint the wine
