A question for any brewer with experience using berries in his/her beer:
I'm just about to make either a chocolate raspberry or cherry stout using a partial mash recipe. Now, I've looked up a couple of procedures and one of them recommends putting the berries into the hot wort after the boil and allowing them to remain in the beer until I rack to secondary and the other says to ferment the beer and put the berries into the secondary and rack on top of them. What does anyone think?
