Fruits to Use (in Funky [multigrainedSaisons!)?

Kind of a tie-in to my latest homebrew post. Was wondering what fruits would best go with a multigrain saison.
Apricots in the secondary? Peaches? Definitely wanted to go with the drupe route (peach/nectarine/damson).

It will feature a white wheat/flaked wheat combo (making up 21.68%, adding them together) and 9.09% spelt malt.

Cereal mash may be useful now that I’ve upgraded my wheat bill.

spices may be cool.

dunno.

i generally hate spices. yuk

Is the cereal mash required? I’ve never done one, thought I read somewhere wheat is ok at normal mash temps, maybe I’m off.

I’ve had good results with fresh peaches and apricots before, also raspberry and strawberry, but those I pressed before adding.

I don’t have my notes, but I think I did about 3 lbs of peaches in 5g. I came out very fruit forward, but the fruit was really fresh and almost overripe.

Yah, I guess my point was with fresh fruit the quality and ripeness really matter, I definitely prefer more subtle fruit character. Unless your using a packaged purée it’s hard to know the results, maybe start with 1.5 lbs, but could be too subtle if the fruit isn’t ripe.
