Last summer my buddies and I did a Strawberry Hefe. We removed the greens from 5 or 6 quarts of stawberries, dipped them in weak StarSan solution, cut them up and put them in secondary on the Hefe (which we otherwise wouldn't have done).

About five days later we bottled. The strawberries themselves were quite tasty (kinda tingly!), and the beer turned out great too. However, it didn't taste like strawberries per se. It had a bitter fruitiness to it and a nice pinkish hue.

We'll do that again, though I think we'd probably do it with some other lighter in color and texture beer. Maybe even a blond.

Im trying to make a strawberry blonde for a freind, and I need help with how much fruit to use? I want to be able to taste the strawberries but not have them over power the beer. Does anyone have an idea? And when I should add the fruit to the beer.

I did what I'm calling a Strawberry SMaSH that's currently carbing.
I pretty much copied Jamil's Blonde Ale recipe from here, but made it a smash with Maris Otter and Willamette.
Let that ferment at 65 for 2 weeks, then racked to a bucket and put the strawberries in, for another 2 weeks at 65.
For the berries, I just bought a 5 pound bag of frozen, sliced strawberries from Sams Club, and put them in a sanitized 5 gallon paint strainer bag with a twist tie on it to keep everything in the bag.
The beer is pretty good, very recognizably strawberry, but tarter that I was expecting. Not sour, but not sweet. I think I'll like it even more when it has more carbonation.

I have one in my recipes list. I have made it oh....a bunch of times.

In fact, I have a batch sitting in the fermenter right now.
