(Yes, I know there are many fruit threads, but I didn't want to hijack anyone else's.)
I've seen lots of threads on adding fruit. I've seen various ways of adding fruit, everything from heating it to adding it to the end of the boil, to making a tincture.
Here's my question: Can I just add my 8lbs of frozen strawberries to my beer in primary?
I picked these strawberries weeks ago. Washed them well (with water, not with any sort of cleaner), removed the green parts and any parts of the fruit that didn't look so good. Dried them on paper towels, then put them in ziplocs and froze them. They've been in the freezer about 4 weeks now.
Can I just add them into the primary? Did the freezing kill all the bad stuff?
I'm trying to make it as simple as possible and would prefer to not have to heat them up or do anything elaborate.
