    If you like Blue Moon, stay in that same neighborhood and try Hoegaarden and Franziskaner.

    Brewing beer not to a "style"

    Recommend a Recipe Please - Raspberry +?

    Yes, when I first did this recipe, I used extract at bottling. Since then I have used puree in a secondary. I have also added it to the primary just after high krausen with good results!

    I use a 15gal kettle for 5gal batches so there is a lot of surface area (but zero boil overs). I go from 7.5 to 8gal starting volume in the BK.
