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:
 
I’ve never done one but once you’ve added the fruit I’d expect you’ll need to let it ferment out again. Is it the omnipolo recipe you’re looking at? If so, there have been a few threads on here by people who’ve brewed it so they should be able to help.

Edit: I’ve found one of the threads: http://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=69602&highlight=Raspberry+vanilla
