Went with your standard wheat beer receipe and was going to add some raspberry extract, but during the primary phase I have had a bumper crop of blackberries ripen up. I have collected a little over 3.5# so far. Was wondering what anyones opinion was on the quantity of blackberries needed for a good blackberry wheat. I have done the obligitory search but haven't seen any recipes come up.
Also, my plan is to take my frozen blackberries and pasterize them at 170 degrees for about 15 minutes then add them to secondary. Two questions with this:
1. I am debating on whether to put them in a sack in the secondary or just dump them in.
2. How long should I let the beer sit on the fruit?
