I made a raspberry lambic and it turned out great! In fact I enjoyed the first bottle today. It turned out better than possibly imagined: nice carbonation, subtle yet distinct raspberry taste and a very unique colour.

Ingredients:

.53 kg Dried malt extract
1 kg Plain light malt extract
.47 kg Dextrose
5 cans Welch's Frozen conc. raspberry cocktail (341 ml cans)
1.5 oz Tettnanger Hops (boiling)
.5 oz Tettnanger Hops (finishing, 1 min.)
1 pck Coopers Brewery Pure Brewers Yeast

Procedure:

Boil wort for one hour. Sparge into glass carboy, then add raspberry conc. and water. Starting SG: 1.049. Wait. Bottle. Wait. Enjoy. The brew is named "FREE TIME" because it was brewed on Oct. 29, 1994, the end of day-light savings time.
