To those who are still following, I apologize for the marathon of updates. Maybe someone finds (or will find) my process helpful.
After talking briefly with the LHBS (Learn to Brew in Moore, OK--highly recommend), I've decided to soak the raspberries in campden overnight, drain, then add to a secondary, racking the proto-beer on top.
I'm actually splitting my batches into two smaller one-gallon secondaries. One gallon is a requiem raspberry, the other is a cranberry ale. Here's my plan (for the last time):
SG is 1.018 (which is a bit high IMO). I'm hoping racking to 2d, adding raspberries/ cranberries, and warming the fermentors to 70F will help. They've been sitting at 60F the two weeks because I'm a cheap ass and don't want to turn on my heat. The Winsor did not floc very well, at all. If I need to repitch, I'll probably throw in something known to floc out well (plus the campden isn't going to help clarity issues). I've ditched the idea to sour a batch, for now.
As for the cranberry (brown) ale, I'm going to make a "priming" tea when it comes time to bottle with some of the beer, priming sugar, bitter orange, and cinnamon. I'm going for a holiday feel with the latter, could turn out terrible, who knows.
I'll take pics and upload for anyone interested.
