Fresh Cranberries

[raef]

Hey, i live in kansas. we won't have fresh cranberries on the shelves for at least 7-8 weeks. i would really like to brew well before that, but need some help obtaining some.
any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Buy frozen ones. Brew the beer. Secondary it and add fresh cranberries when they arrive?

What about dried cranberries that you rehydrate yourself?

[raef]

thought about all angles, but really prefer fresh. I know they have begun harvest, just need to know where i can purchase some. have seen where i can get some online next month, but was hoping to find somewhere before. lol... i know, patience is a virtue.

If you buy them fresh, wouldn't you then just freeze them, anyway?

[raef]

i would actually........... more than once. we have no frozen either. we are cranberryless. I want fresh because i would definitely know they are this years crop, not last. am i being picky? or just paranoid

Can you buy unsweetend dried cranberries? I can't find any ..... they're all sweetened or flavored. Or both.

nothing unsweetened here either
