I'm getting ready to brew a Flanders Red, and I've been thinking about adding fruit later on to approximate Rodenbach's Caractère Rouge. They're supposed to add raspberry, cherry and cranberry and they all seem to come through quite clearly in the finished product. I could imagine cranberry being overwhelming, and I seem to remember hearing on the Sour Hour that it only accounts for 20% or less of the fruit added. Any suggestions about the proportions and quantities of fruit to add? I'll be brewing 5.5 gallons.
