I'm a new extract brewer! I found this recipe on another website and made the beer in late summer and by now have almost finished all of it. I followed the recipe and the beer turned out quite well, except it had pretty poor head retention. I apologize for the lack of detail in the recipe.
"Recipe Type: extract
Yield: 5 gallons
Description:
This beer has a very nice mild raspberry flavor, aroma, and color.
Ingredients:
2 cans, Alexanders pale malt extract
2 pounds, rice extract syrup
1 ounce, Cascades hops
8 pounds, frozen raspberries
Edme ale yeast
plus a bottle of extract (type of extract?)
Procedure:
I used about 8 lbs (11 12oz pkgs) and it turned out wonderfully, not at all overly raspberry-like. I blended them with just enough water to make a slurry and added it to the cooled wort (seeds, skins and all). I also added 2 campden tablets to ward off infection. It seems to have worked. No pectin haze at all. I racked into a secondary and left most of the raspberry sludge behind.

The beer had a wonderful raspberry taste that wasn't overwhelming by any means. It was very refreshing and I enjoyed it very much. As I said, it had poor head retention. Any suggestions to better this recipe, or how to improve the head retention, are more than welcome!
