Question:
Many, many possibilities: I just made a porter and added some raisins (1/4 cup to boil) just for kicks. No idea how it will turn out – maybe just a tad bit of residual sweetness? Also, as LD pointed out, Oatmeal Raising Stout? I’ve also heard of Belgian beers being brewed with raisins. I guess it’s just a fun experiment. –CC

It’s going to vary depending on how finely you chop them and on their sugar content. I think you’d be better off trying to calculate it (i.e., take one SG reading before the boil and one after, after taking into account the volume lost).

Heh… theres an interesting idea… an Oatmeal Rasin Stout 
Love the cookies? Try the beer! I’m copywriting that.

I don’t know, but maybe try asking in the wine making group? John. — *** John P. Kolesar *** *** Head Administrator, Monty Python’s Flying Talker ***
