I like the morebeer.com flavorings. You can find them here: https://morebeer.com/search/102194/beerwinecoffee/coffeewinebeer/Fruit_Flavorings_Purees

I have used the Apricot and the Raspberry and liked them both. They recommend starting with half a bottle. I recommend more like a third. If you are kegging this works well because if you want more you can just open up the keg and add it. It's a little harder if you are bottling. Try dividing up the batch and bottling three different concentrations to see which you like best.

I used Raspberry extract in my Raspberry Wheat and it was a hit, tastes great and not overpowering. I used the full 4oz in a 5 gallon batch when kegging. I don't use a secondary so the fresh fruit option isn't a consideration for me personally.

Off topic but necessary. If you are going to make the drive for #9, make sure you sample a few of the other Magic Hat offerings if they have them. Magic hat is one of the great east coast breweries and they have some really interesting offerings. I personally love Hocus Pocus but you won't find that until spring, if at all.

when doing something like this, what receipe would you recommend I use? I myself love wheat's but I would like something like a blue moon flavor, but with rasberries instead of blue berries.

I actually don't think that Blue Moon has blueberries in it. None-the-less, here is a thread with a Blue Moon clone recipe. http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f71/austin-homebrews-blue-moon-clone-ag-30190/

You can basically add some fruit flavoring to any recipe you want. So if you have a good wheat beer recipe that you like, just add the raspberry flavoring to it.

ahh and i would do the addition to the bottling bucket before adding the priming sugar and bottling correct?

And I'm guessing about 1.75Oz per 5 gallon batch?

The bottle may call for 4oz. Many do call for that much, and you may very well like that much. But once you add it, you can't take it out. I tend to think that the whole bottle is overkill, but I like more of a gentle hint of the fruit flavor as opposed to a punch you in the mouth kind of taste. If you are kegging I recommend adding a little and if you want more add it.
