I have some raspberries. Do you see any problems if i put them in a muslin bag and put in boil. Don't want the flavor so much as the color and sugar. Will bag keep the undesirable bits out of the boil?
Thanks
 
i did a cranberry ale about a month ago, crushed them up to break the skins, and release the juices... then put them in at flameout

nice color, and just a hint of the flavor. 10 minutes at flameout will pasturize them plenty.

then i strained it out with everything else when it went into the fermenter.

i was worried about boiling them for an hour and creating jelly in my wort
 
btw... i'm not sure what the muslim bag will accomplish, but i bet that for berries that cheesecloth might be better, and you can just throw it all away when you get done.
