Hey i just got my kit from northern brewer for the cream ale. I have been researching on this site for a week now and understand the processes of adding fruit...i think. I plan on pasteurizing the fresh berries and then adding the berries AND the water to the secondary and then racking on top. Would it be a good idea to freeze them and then pasteurize them to release more flavor when they sit in the secondary? I was also considering pureeing some to throw in the boil. Is it worth my time to put them in the boil or should i just add to secondary. If it is ok, will adding them to the boil create a different flavor then just adding them to secondary? Im looking for a fresh and slightly tart taste. Thanks as always
