Thats a pretty good recipe, and I prefer the use of a cane sugar over a beet sugar- you are right not to add tannin where there are raspeberries as the seeds add a level of bitterness.

what do you recon the difference in taste is between cane and beet sugar? ive never even thought of it...

[Mitchamitri]

Theres something to do with the fermentation flavours - if I had to call it I would say beet is more "tarry" and cane is more "Lighter and earthy". I am really quite biased though as I have an old brewing book that says something like "The drink from the beet is tainted, the drink from the cane is pure", or something like that. I will look it up later at some point, and find the source of it.
