Notes

For version 3--Add 4 bags raspberries (pureed) to primary after the end of fermentation for 4 days. Remove. Crash then add 4 bags (pureed) to primary post crash for 3 days. Rack to secondary w/ clarifier. Let sit for 2 days before kegging.

For version #2--Add 2.25# of raspberries toward the end of primary--remove after 4 days (some of the berries seemed still intact, so I put the second addition into the food processor while frozen and coursely processed them). Then add #2.25 for 4 days before racking to secondary. Also added 1# rolled oats to mash to try and add body. Don't want to add dextrin. Pretty sure Rubeaus uses dextrin malt, but it gives me gas.

Spring 19 version: Puree Rasp. Cold Crash after 10 days. Once crashed, add all Raspberries to primary in the cooler. Steep for 4 days,

For version #1 I added 12oz each of raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries at the end of primary, then added 2.25# of raspberries after primary for 3 days.
