Bittering with juniper berries?

[Sttifyd35]

Hey guys. I want to attempt bittering a brew with juniper berries. Im making a 1 gallon batch for a trial and want to know how many berries i should use and adding them in at what intervals? Im going hopless with this one.

The only thing i have found is someone threw .25 oz of berries in the secondary ferment. Been trying to find if anyone has tossed them in during the boil?

I went looking for Randy Moshure's Radical Brewing book chart that has list of lots of interesting ingredients, I have the book at home and I'm at work, and it lead me back to HBT. check out r2eng's Juniper IPA recipe half way down the page. .75 oz of Juniper for 5 gal. beer
