Evening all, I'm planning my next brew and could do with some advise.!

I'm relatively new to all grain brewing and I'm starting to think about do a fruit IPA. Having stuck rigidly thus far to hoppy IPAs.

I've seen a clone recipe I'd like to try my hand at; a double raspberry and vanilla ipa (might not float everyone's boat!). As I understand the recipe, the raspberries and vanilla are added after the primary fermentation. My question is 2-fold

- Do I add the raspberries and vanilla at the same time as the dry hops stage?
- and will I still need to prime the beer before bottling or will the sugar in the fruit do the job?

Any input or comments would be really appreciated. :thumb:
