Notes

Add coriander seed at end of boil, steep for 5 mins @ 170°-180°.

Crush 1.5-2 lbs of berries (sanitized), add to secondary fermenter after primary fermentation slows. Steep for 5-7 days, tasting daily.

Sanitizing berries:
Process (optional-enhances flavor extraction)

Rinse 1.5-2 lbs under cold water, avoid crushing.
Inspect and discard moldy, overripe, or damaged berries.
Place in sanitized, airtight container or freezer bag.
Freeze at 0°F or below for 24-48 hrs.
Thaw in fridge. (to prevent rapid microbial growth)

Sanitize
Prepare 1-2 gallons of Star San solution. (ensure solution is below 3.5 pH)
Place thawed or fresh berries in solution container.
Soak for 1-2 mins (no longer than 2 mins) while gently agitating.
Use colander for berries to drip dry, do not rinse.
