While bottling my Coopers Lager kit, I decided to try something out. I added 18 ounces off fresh raspberries and moved approximately 1 gallon of my fermented lager into a bottling bucket with them. I let them mix together for approximately one week.
To prepare the raspberries, I froze them and then mashed and thawed them with a small amount of water.
Initially, the bottles were very cloudy. In fact, a couple still are. After a month of bottle conditioning, I cracked open one of the clear ones.
Not bad at all. It is very similar in taste to a lambic. Just wanted to share my experiences with my first brew and my first experimentation.
