SWMBO and I aren't huge fruity beer fans, but we like them occasionally. A friend is moving out of his house and leaving his huge raspberry patch behind. He offered us a many raspberries as we can handle and asked if I could make a raspberry wheat. Sure, I said. However, since I've never made a fruit beer, I have no idea what to tell him in terms of how much I'd need.
I've searched on the forums and have seen recommendations for 3 lb. for a 5-gallon batch, others saying 4 lbs., etc. Any recommendations? The rest of the recipe will probably be my favorite 60/40 blend of 2-row and wheat for an OG of 1.054. I'll ferment it with 1010 or maybe some Bell's house yeast for some added fruityness. Thanks all!
