Ok so i want to add fruit to this but am not sure what is the best to do. I can't decide between 2.5lb of frozen raspberries or using puree. I don't mind if it gets a little champagny but was wondering what most people prefer to give a good pronounced raspberry taste. This is my first fruit beer. I plan on secondary in a bucket. Also this is directed towards the ladies so whatever will get the fruitiest sweetest taste.
 
Im surprised i didnt get a response but i would like to update that i went with vintners puree. Raspberries are currently about $4 for 60oz and the puree was $18 for 3lb. When all mixed together the smell was amazing. Really excited to taste this brew. It sounds weird but the roasted malts add a bit of a sweet carmel to the raspberries.
