added Sea Buckthorn to specific notes
* Quince - Very aromatic, but also has pectin haze. Also able to be used are Japanese flowering quince (Chaenomeles) <ref name="MTF_Thread"></ref>.
* Raspberries - Advice: use a fine-mesh bag for whole fruit or a fine-mesh strainer for puree since seeds/skins may not settle even with extended aging. Frozen products tend to be more consistent than fresh <ref name="MTF_Thread"></ref>. Raspberries can pair well with both pale and darker sour beers.
* Sea Buckthorn - Adds a lot of acidity; add less to more sour beers. Juicing tends to be the most popular approach. See quantities below <ref name="sea_buckthorn" />.
* Sumac - Provides a lot of "lemony" acidity. Can boil it, but don't boil for too long or the nice red color will turn brown.
* Strawberry - It is thought that the seeds might carry a lot of p-coumaric acid, which can transform into 4-vinylphenol and 4-ethylphenol in the presence of ''Brettanomyces'', which tastes like plastic. Some people have had luck juicing strawberries and removing any seed or vegetal material (or using strawberry juice) to avoid plastic flavors <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/1300991233262421/?comment_id=1301153443246200&reply_comment_id=1301956473165897&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R1%22%7D Discussion with James Sites on MTF regarding strawberries and 4EP precursor. 05/09/2016.]</ref><ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/1599245436770331/?comment_id=1599288443432697&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R1%22%7D Conversation with Kyle Pittser on MTF regarding the use of strawberries. 03/01/2017.]</ref>.
