I had a bumper crop of raspberries this year, so I secondaried my 5 gallons on somewhere between 3-4lbs of my berries. I froze the berries for 48 hours to kill off any wild yeast, then racked on top for 3 days after am 8 day primary.
The glass is sweating because it's humid as all get out right now. It's actually a very clear beer. I think I shall call this one Warrior's Blood.
This is one I'm probably most proud of at this point. It's got a big raspberry nose, solid tart berry flavor, and a crisp dry finish.
I did the following Grain Bill:
4lb 2 row
4lb 6 row
1lb flaked maize
14oz box of Minute Rice
1 cup of table sugar in the mash
Yeast:
Good ole US-05.
Hops:
1 oz cascade whole leaf, locally grown
1 oz of German Hallertauer whole leaf.
Priming Sugar:
Local Honey to 2.3vols
Estimated 4.9% ABV
So I entered this in the local HB competition and here's the sheet:

Lots of too dry comments. But I think it's a good start... looking for improvements.
