blackberry extract?

[burglurizer]

good day!

i have a large ziplock full of frozen blackberrys i picked in the summer, looking to add them to my next belgian ale, wondering what the best process would be? Would i need to process the berries in anyway? maybe a food processor and stain them in cheesecloth? i have done a few using the blueberry extract from NG and they came out fantastic, just wondering how i can best use all my blackberries.....

Update!

I mashed the crap out of them, cheesecloth and added to the boil.

Bottling in 2 weeks, stay tuned for an update

How'd it turn out Bill?

Jmac, it was excellent, not hazy at all. I drank it, little tart from the blackberry but very nice overall


thanks for asking, fyi, squashing berries ina cheesecloth works just fine!

Glad to hear Bill and welcome to the group!
