I have a sour saison sitting on raspberry puree right now. I would imagine that dried cranberries are fine (craisens?)but I would run them through a food processor or blender first to get maximum flavor out of them.
Technically, yes. I am able to buy bulk dried cranberries.
I don't know. I would think that dried is going to minimize what you're going to get out of it. Most of the moisture is out of the fruit and that's really where your flavors come from... I think.
I would opt for fresh cranberries. I do a cranberry sour where I use 6 lbs of fresh cranberries. Pic below. Comes out delicious.
I've never used dried fruit but you could be ok using it. I'm just not sure.
Can I ask why dried and not fresh?
Because I want to brew this sooner rather than later and fresh cranberries are not available to me at the moment.
