Procedure:

Mash malts at 160 degrees with 4.5 gallons of water. Sparge with 3 gallons at 150 degrees. Crystal is added at 60, Saaz added at 15.
Strawberry/Rhubarb is added in the secondary fermentation stage. Depending on how well you puree the rhubarb you may need to strain the pulp out.
I must say that next batch I make I may just juice the rhubarb/strawberry and add that. I have found that there is a lot of wasted beer that is left in the pulp.
