I searched and searched and could not find any info on this. :drunk: My thinking is that if I use a higher mash temp (156?) on a wheat/rye beer there will be more unfermentable sugars that will aid in bringing out the flavor of the raspberries. If you are familiar with McMenamins Ruby ale...

I "failed" a new brewer, and I didn't even have a chance to help. A friend of a friend on Facebook remarked that he was sad that his porter was too bitter. I shot him an email telling him to stash the bottles in a cool place (65-70F) for a month and to try it again. Turns out he was talking...
