Mini framboise

In my limited experience pasteurised fruit hasn't been required. I've frozen fresh fruit and used it.
My thinking is that you're adding the fruit to low pH and alcohol environment with lots of established desirable microorganisms. It's unlikely you'll spoil it.

Look forward to trying it. Will it make an appearance at the September sour-off?

Only did a fruit beer once, but i froze and dumped in the fermenter without boiling / blanching etc. worked fine. Can't imagine Belgians fussing over that sort of thing either!

Fermented fruit can dry out a beer quite a bit - not necessarily a bad thing in a sour.
