I am thinking about brewing some Belgian #beer for Christmas and have frozen cherries and cherries in rum.

Do anyone here from the #homebrewing fedi bubble have any good recipe or suggestions how to use it?

What kind of cherries? Sweet or tart? generally you want tart cherries for beer, just because they have a lot more flavor per cherry. That said, you can still use sweet cherries, but the flavor won't be as pronounced.

I don't really have a recipe but some sort of Belgian style Christmas ale with cherries sounds good to me, something on the darker end of the spectrum, maybe similar to a dubbel or quad.

@MuteDog sweet ones, that's just what I have. I was asking more about the usage - where to put it in the process in fermenter, to the boil (as I found someone do it with concentrate)
