I used fresh but then due to visitors I had to freeze them and defrost them the following week. The recipe was for 50g/gallon and I thought the pack was 250g but it wasn't and 500g went into 5 gallons. To be fair it's not that raspberry at the moment so I've probably got away with it.
Life would be better if I could brew it as fast as we drink it!
Degassed & stabilised my Grapefest black cherry port yesterday, added flavour sachet, brandy & oak, and set aside to age a bit.
Struggling to get motivated at the moment - a combination of a heavy workload and H2S problems with the GF wines. I need to pull my finger out because I have a complete log-jam of wine here though

Made me smile... got me thinking... very soon you will have another tag line
Life would be better if I could find room in the house for everything I brew!
I got moved out of the house some time ago. Nice shed (birthday present) fully insulated (not cheap) big lock and heated in the winter. My gripe is it's at the top of the garden so run out of wine run up to the shed (my job) and in Manchester that's get wet in the rain too. Bo Ho

Well like Goldseal there's a wine jam here too nothing but nothing wants to clear fast and the brewing cupboard is empty Yes! empty. There's 25 gallons and more just not clearing. I'm off to Wilko's on the way home I feel the need to purchase an inexpensive fermenter and some finings which I shall refain from using but will threaten each wine with "if you don't clear you're going to get zapped with this!" "This" being Youngs two part finings. Not sure if that will work but it will make me feel better.

Oh yes - it's taken around 12 hours to develop, but it's getting clearer all the time. I left it for about 8 hours in my cold garage until the stink had died down, then brought it into the warm and dry. The latter appears to be doing the trick.
