I am making a beer for Halloween and would like to add blackberries and oranges in the dry hop stage. Does anyone have a recommendation on how much to use? Not trying to over power the beer and haven't tried anything like this yet.

For the blackberries, I'd go 1/2 to 3/4 of a cup. For the oranges, I would suggest blood oranges. And two of them (minus the peel) would be awesome.
And I like this idea. I did a Black IPA with toasted cocoa nibs that was awesome. But putting some blood oranges in there sounds like a future brew now. Thanks for the inspiration!

This sounds like a very tasty combination. I would soak both in some vodka both to sanitize them and to extract some flavor. Then toss everything (including vodka) into the secondary. Expect some restarted fermentation.
