Beer recipe "fruit beer" brewing homebrewing "home brewing"

I made 10 gallons of excellent fruit beer; 5 gallons of all raspberry saison and 5 gallons of mixed berry (raspberry, blackberry, and blueberry) saison.

Brewed on the Spike Solo and fermented in a variety of fermenters (multiple carboys, a Fermentasaurus, and a FermZilla) including some pressure fermentation and closed system racking, the resulting fruit ale was spectacular! Recipe is below.

WARNING: I forgot to mention an important tip for making fruit beers. DO NOT throw the fruit directly into the fermenter as shown in this video unless you have a way to separate the fruit from the beer well enough to not clog your tubing and disconnects!
I know what I'm talking about here. I learned that lesson the hard way.
