How to Add Fruit to Beer - Citrus, Berries, Stone Fruit, Bananas?

Fruiting beer is a broad subject and most guides give you the same generic answer regardless of what fruit you're adding. In this video we go style by style — citrus, berries, stone fruit, bananas — covering how to prep each, when to add it, and what each one does to the final beer.

What's covered:
- Citrus (lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit) — zest vs juice, when to add
- Berries (strawberry, raspberry, blackberry, blueberry) — fresh, frozen, puree
- Stone fruit (peach, pear, apple) — pectin and pectic enzyme
- Bananas — yes, really, and how
- Pasteurization, campden, sorbate — when you actually need them
