Brewed this Tuesday and subbed rye malt for flaked. Did a single infusion and hit 152 for an hour. OG was 1.046 pitched at 70*
Thought I would be safe leaving it alone while I went to work but was very wrong. My temp had spiked over 75 (even in my room with the windows open at 50* outside). Got home just in time to hear a pop.. Decided to throw a blow off tube on after that

So after a bit of research and looking at the ingredients I have on hand I'm going to give this a go in a few weeks with a few modifications.
I'll keep the malt bill the same.
I have Saaz so will use that instead of the sterling.
I have a pack of Brewferm Blanche so I'll use that instead of the WB-06.
I will just puree the frozen raspberries and throw them into the primary after a week or whenever the primary fermentation dies off.
Leave it for about a week and then bottle with 3 volumes of carbon.
I'll report back in the middle of next month when it should be ready.
Hopefully it will be a beer that both me and my SWMBO will enjoy.

BTW I didn't get around to brewing this in the end so nothing to report back

Just pulled a sample before my party tonight. Seems to have a little more raspberry than I would like, but I will say that it is still absolutely delicious. I used over-ripe berries from my farm's raspberry patch, and I think that's why it may have a little more pink color and extra flavor. I will do this one again for sure. I thought it was great even before the fruit addition.
