Sorry if this has been posted before, I searched and didn't find my specific question.
I have a Smoked Porter in secondary right now. I just decided tonight that I would like to try adding Raspberry to it. (I tasted to wort when I took a gravity reading and didn't like how overpowering the smoke flavor is, and would like to mellow it out some.)
Everything I've ready says you have to rack onto the fruit. Is it too late for me to add fruit? Is my only option at this point to add fruit at bottling? I thought about racking it into a bucket and then back into the secondary on top of the fruit, but that seems like asking for trouble.
