Raspberry Hefeweizen

[mwlendrum]

Hi there,

I'm hoping to brew a raspberry hefeweizen in the next week or so. I have a Hank's Hefeweizen kit from Midwest Supplies, and am wondering how best to go about adding raspberry. I was talking to the owner at the Sackville, NB U-Brew store and she said that you can get a great raspberry puree locally but she didn't remember the name. Does anybody know of a good one to use? Or would you suggest using frozen raspberries instead?
Also, how much would you use to get a solid fruit flavour? Not overwhelming, but definitely having a significant presence.

Thanks for the help, and I hope I posted this in the right place. First time using a forum of any kind!

Oregon purees are available at Noble Grape and are very convenient. IIRC, they are 3-5 lbs. I'd say use one to two cans. Or use frozen. Add either to the secondary.

Sorry, missed the NB, not sure about locally.....

That must have been what the lady at the brewing store was talking about!
Thanks anyway!
