Looking to do a Blackberry Wit. Can I get a decent critique of this recipe? Should I use Blackberry extract instead of fresh? Looking for guidance on using fruit in beer.

Skip any fruit extracts as they usually leave a fake taste to it. Imagine Sam Adams Cherry Wheat or the likes of Sam Adams own Blackberry Wit. Take those blackberries and puree them. I would strain the seeds off too. Then dump that into your secondary.
