I used 3 lbs. of frozen organic raspberries in secondary for a cream ale I did. Turned out great. I would make sure to use ORGANIC. If you search for a thread called Requiem Raspberry, you will find a lot of good info and some pics.

I will be bottling mine on Tuesday or Wednesday. It did seem to mellow a bit when I pulled a sample before secondary. Still pretty intense though.

I did NB Speckled Heifer as my first PM a couple of months ago. I added 3lbs. of organic raspberries to the secondary for a week. I used White Labs Cream Ale yeast. Turned out great! It finishes crisp and clean. Great summertime brew. I will definitely be doing it again.

Good news! I just brewed skeezerpleezer's FFF ZD clone today and the sample was INTENSE! glad I found this thread, my fears have been eased.

Fermentation really took off! Getting rapid bubbles through the blow off in under 2 hours.

Just finished my partial mash up. Hit the numbers pretty close. Had a slight boil over, but still came in at 1.062. My next investment will be a 10-15 gallon pot. Doing full boils in a 7.5g can get a little hairy. I added the .75oz FWH addition to the mash with about 8-10 minutes left before...

Just put my starter on the stir plate. I'm doing an all Citra hopped IPA PM (Three Floyd's Zombie Dust clone). Couldn't decide if I wanted to use WLP001 or try 007 when I stumbled upon 090. This sounds like it could be the best of both worlds.

Just ordered ingredients for a partial mash. I'm going to try the White Labs San Diego Super Strain yeast.

I have found a use for that $20 Fushigi ball that my daughter wanted for Xmas last year! Those tricks looked so easy in the commercial : (

Hard pour w/rocky head.

She likes helping me de-label bottles!

One of my favorites, and on of my best photos.

I just cracked a couple more of mine. I will absolutely be brewing with raspberries again!

I am planning on doing a PM of this for my next brew. I have been wanting to try WLP007 ( http://www.whitelabs.com/beer/strains_wlp007.html )or WLP002 (http://www.whitelabs.com/beer/strains_wlp002.html ). Both English Ale yeasts, 002 finishes sweeter than 007. I want to see how much clearer they...

I just brewed a Raspberry Cream ale with 3lbs. of frozen organic raspberries. The berries were still floating after a week and had turned mostly white. Smelled great though. I wouldn't worry about no bubbles in the airlock. I didn't get any noticeable in mine either. I was told that there really...

Northern Brewer has it. About $29.00. http://www.northernbrewer.com/brewing/brewing-ingredients/hops/leaf-hops/sorachi-ace-leaf-hops-1-lb-1.html

Thanks bottlebomber, that's good to know. I will be bottling on Monday. I didn't want to be worried about bottle bombs! I will pick up another 5 gallon carboy before my next double brew day. I have a Strong Dark Belgian going right now too. I thought I would need my carboy for that, but it is...

I bet in another couple weeks carbonation will improve. My first batch took a month before it even started to carb up. Higher gravity beers take longer. Storing it in a nice warm room will speed things up too.

I have a PM Raspberry Cream Ale in secondary right now. I added 3lbs of organic raspberries when I racked it to secondary 5 days ago. I was expecting the airlock to take off again from the sugars in the raspberries. Hasn't happened. I made a starter and all the #'s were good. Primary...
