Okay, I have a problem - I dont have any spare vessels to rack off my dunkelweizen in order to add raspberries to it in secondary .. usually i dont even seconday my weizens, i dump them into a keg and let them ages a little in there - i like them fresh off the ranks and green for flavour ...
what is the detriment here if I add the fruit to the primary fermenter without racking it off? I have never done it, and am told not to do it ... I know that there can be problems with leaving the beer on the trub, but seeing as this beer has only been there for a week now and is only just really finishing bubbling away, is that a problem if the fermentation re-starts in a weizen?
Let me know why i shouldnt, let me know if it will add..or aything really - its advised against, but i dont know why - i know you can restart fermentation or push it along in high gravity belgiums, so why not a weizen?
