Dryhopping hops and fruit same bag?

[Brew_4iT]

Did a search but didn't find anything on this subject. I plan on doing a strawberry blond and would like to add cascade along with the strawberries into secondary, same bag, same time. I would think it would also help with infections as well, since hops naturally are an antagonist against bacteria. What do you guys think?

I'd put them in different hop sacks. Imo,the berries might coat the hop particles & hinder utilization as the pellets break down.

Would it make a difference with leaf over pellets you think? I would be aiming towards a subtleness with the hops more so specifically for the misses.

Whole leaf might not be any better.? At 39c each,I'd just get another sack. The amount of berries needed would need a grain sack. Same thing only bigger.

Right point taken... It will be around 5-6 lbs of berries. Thanks for the input!

Yee godz man!

Good luck with your brew! You always seem to be the one that goes the extra yard when I post a question. I also original got into brewing by watching craig on youtube and although many poke fun of his practices, I think the whole point was to show how easy it can be to make a decent beer.
