I just made a raspberry wheat that I racked onto 5 lbs of frozen raspberries. Turned out a bit tart, but has been mellowing. It also turned my beer pink. If I had to do it over again I'd go with 2.5 to 3 lbs of frozen fruit.

One can of Oregon Fruit puree should do it. Honestly, I don't recall what volume the cans are...I want to say 42 oz. You can get them at your lhbs. And yes, your yeast will eat it up, so watch your airlock. Depending on headspace, you may want to put a blow-off tube in. Looking at the OP again, a full can for strawberry and may 1/2 to 3/4 for the raspberry.

Your yeast will not be dead (unless you or a rival brewer killed them). At this point, don't even concern yourself with the issue. Be more concerned that they are alive and may blow the stopper off your carboy.
