Hello as the title says I am making ten gallons of wheat ale tomorrow and I plan to boil and ferment it all the same except I have 5lbs of black berries for half of it and I am taking suggestions on the other half. Should I use dry hops on it maybe different fruit such as strawberries. What do you guys think?

Mango or raspberry works well with wheat.

Raspberry and Rhubarb are a great combo. I tried strawberry in a beer once and it wasn't great. From what I've seen the strawberry seeds will leach out a lot of tannins and throw the flavour off
