This "Contact time" in the table below is for mixed fermentations with [[Brettanomyces]]. Kettle sours or beers that do not contain live ''Brett'' can have a much shorter fruit contact time (generally 1-2 weeks). All contact times are assumed to be applied in secondary, and at the end of aging. Keep in mind that this is just a general guideline for usage amounts. Brewers should consider their base beer's characteristics such as abv, flavor profile, acidity levels, etc. when deciding on an amount and contact timeconsidering how much fruit to add. Don't be afraid to experiment outside of these guidelines.
