I have a German hefeweizen in my primary. I want to add raspberries to the secondary. I went out and got 2 lbs of frozen raspberries at stop and shop. Can I just throw these right in my secondary without boiling or sterilizing somehow? Do I risk spoiling my beer.
Also, is 2 lbs an appropriate amount for a 5 gallon batch? I want there to be a distinct flavor and aroma of raspberries but don't want it to be overbearing. I am looking for a hefeweizen with notes of raspberries but not the other way around.
Thanks for the help
