    I have in my freezer 2 lbs of black raspberries and 2 lbs of sour cherries. I am looking to add them to a 5 gallon batch after active fermentation. I am looking for a subtle flavor profile rather than an assault of fruit, hence the quantities. What type of beer do you suggest that I brew? :stuck_out_tongue:

    I’d brew a basic beer, like,
    9 lb 2 row
    1 lb. Caramel L10
    .5 lb carapills
    1 oz goldings@60
    Brew beer and after using a basic yeast
    Toss fruit on top of the fermented brew till the ferment has stopped.

    at least it’s a starting point
