how did this turn out?

Really good actually. Got a ton of Peach aroma and flavor in the beer. Tasted like peaches which is what I was shooting for. Though peeling and pitting peaches was a hassle, I don't know if I will do this again.

how did you add the peaches?, did you put them in a muslin bag or just toss them into the fermenter, also did you do anything to kill any pesticides that may contaminate the yeast?

Yeah I "cooked" the peaches at 170deg for 20 minutes. I then added the peach puree to the fermenter. Once fermentation was complete I then cold crashed it for about 2 weeks to try to get as much sediment to drop out as possible.

Did you cold crash in primary? Thinking about making this with mangoes instead.
