Do I grind up frozen raspberries or not?
|
|
Hi I got some frozen raspberries to add to my raspberry wheat ale (it's done fermenting and I already added some near the end of the boil). Do I need to grind them up in the food processor or will they dissolve just adding them?
Thanks guys!

Never done fruit, so I can't give you a definitive answer. But based on what I have seen, just dump it in as is.
Consider this a free bump. Hopefully, one of the "fruity experts" will stumble in and help you out.

If they're frozen the cells are already ruptured, just dump them in your secondary and rack on top of them.

It is amazing how fast the threads slip off into the abyss here lately!
Of course, you DID say "dump".....

You're best off putting them through several freeze-thaw cycles, to ensure more of the cell walls burst, releasing the juice. One cycle will sometimes do the trick, but I like to make sure by using at least a half-dozen.
