Let's assume I want o fruit my beer.... Similar to the raspberry post... Anything special one would have to buy or do? I noticed he used frozen berries.... Any reason for this?

How much frozen fruit for a 5 gal batch

Boiling kills bacteria, freezing usually does not. I'm not saying there is something wrong with your brew process, but I believe there is something wrong with your thought process.
Granted they are likely pretty clean from processing before they get to you. If it works for you, keep it up.
