I used 3 pounds of raspberries for 5 gallons, I think next time I will step it down to two pounds, the fruit flavor was a little too much. They were frozen, and when they defrosted they turned into somewhat of a mushy mixture The raspberries became all white as the beer became more red, and...

I'm thinking about trying to make a spicy beer, with hot sauce or peppers to give it a kick. Does anyone have a recipe for something like this?

I made a raspberry wheat by just tossing the defrosted raspberries into the secondary for a week and a half. No problem with overcarbing or infection

I recently bottled my raspberry wheat, 5 gallon batch. I did about 3 pounds for 5 gallons, so .5 for 1 gallon sounds about right. As for sanitizing, I soaked the raspberrys in vodka for about 20 minutes, stirring them around. I'm not sure what star san would do, but I'm not crazy about...

My American IPA, made from extract with cascade

My friends and I got this once because of the price. It was frightening how bad this tasted. We ended up drinking beast over this, and it sat around for a month until someone threw it away

I just started this kit as well, and I bought a few pounds of frozen raspberries to use instead of the extract. My question is between a purée and whole berries. Which one is better to do/is there a difference?

I just bought one and now I'm even more excited to use it tomorrow

I soak mine in the tub in really hot water with oxyclean. Give them an hour or two, and most of the labels come right off. I've noticed that harpoon labels tend to be a little stickier, and need some scrubbing, but almost everything else is pretty easy.

when you see chest freezers on sale and immediately look into the cost of kegs, hoses, etc...

I'm planning on starting a raspberry wheat, it'll be ready in time for spring, perfect way to start the summer off

+1 I guess I'm #506, I broke my first one while brewing my very first batch of beer (the beer turned out ok though!)

Cool, I'm in!
