Hi,
I've never brewed with fruit before and I've come across a blueberry porter recipe that I'd really like to try. It says to microwave frozen berries to break open the skins and release the flavour - and also partially sanitize them. Any tips on how to fully sanitize them? I was thinking about just heating them on a pot on the stove, letting them cool to room temp, and then adding them.
