This recipe is based on two very good things. First, this recipe is cloned from a friend's Pale Ale that was absolutely spectacular. I thoroughly enjoyed it every time I drank it. The second is Trader Joe's unsulfered and unsweetened dried mango. Several of the packages of Mango had a light bitterness that balanced perfectly with the sweetness of the dried fruit. The first time I had it, I knew I wanted to use it in a homebrew. Combined with the great Pale Ale recipe, I think this will make for an enjoyable pour.
8.Boil 6oz chopped Dried Mango and 2oz Cascade Hops in 3 cups of water for 10 minutes
9.Cool mango and Hop mixture to 70F and add to fermenter
10.Wait 7 more days
11.Bottle, condition and enjoy

This is my first homebrew using dried fruit. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate the tips.

ctorx, how did this turn out flavor wise with adding 6oz. to the boil and then another 6 oz. into the secondary? Was it a slightly sweet IPA or was it just a slight undertone of mango? I imagine that the Cascade hop addition balanced the sweetness?

Haven't brewed this yet...I will be this upcoming Summer. I meant to do it this year and it just got away from me.

Hi ctorx, will you put the dried mango and hops mixture in a hop bag or juss toss it directly into fermenter?

I was planning on chopping the dried mango using a food processor (one or two small pluses, we don't want to puree it) and then steep it in some boiling water for just a minute or two before dropping it in the carboy. The thinking is that multiple smaller pieces will distribute the flavor better, and I think the short time in the boiling water will help it to break down a bit. I'm just not sure yet of the effect of the boiling water, or how long to boil...I don't wan't to extract all of the flavors out into the boiling water since I will be throwing it out.
