I am debating rather than using the cherry extract I have for my cherry wheat ale, buying some frozen cherries, defrosting them and steeping them at the end of the boil (Joy of brewing suggested a 20 minute steep right after turning off the flame) If I go this route how many pounds of cherries for a 5 gal batch? Also could I add them frozen to begin cooling the wort during the steep? I don't have a chiller.
