i suggest freezing them and defrosting them before you put them in the bottles to make sure that if there is anything at all on the berry that could damand your beer (bug/micro-organism) it dies while being frozen. freezing the ones for your wort and dry hop are necessary for killing these and breaking down the inner membrane walls of the berry as long as you crack them before freezing them.


Freezing does not kill pathogens it only slows their growth or makes them dormant. When they get back to a favorable temp then they will start right back up. I heard that people were trying to be eco friendly by freezing their clothes instead of washing and that is a faulty argument for the same reason.
