Alex Posted November 1, 2012 Author Share Posted November 1, 2012 Hey guys, So brewed a wheat and just added my blueberries... 1.7Kg Thomas Coopers Wheat Kit 1Kg Wheat DME 600g Hi-Malt glucose (I just had it left over) 28g Hallertau Hops 15 and 5 min left in boil. Added 700g Frozen Canadian blueberries, in some of my wife's pantyhose [love] , on day 3 in FV. Kind of a twist on the Blushing Blonde/Heffeweissen. I might call it the depressed German![biggrin] I'll keep ya posted. [unsure] [whistling [unsure] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamB8 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I'll keep ya posted. Please do mate, Im a big fan of these styles, Ive been watching a guy experimenting with Lactic acid (as a cheat) in his brews, I reckon that would be really nice in the one your making Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 How is this travelling Alex? ???? For those interested. I am ready to bottle the "frustrated German" lol. The OG was 1.045...she's been fermenting now for 10 days. Tastes great, very mild blueberry flavour, and FG is 1.011. I took the blue sac ([lol] ) out on day 7. Mixed it lightly to get the colour, aroma and flavours rockin. It is a lil cloudy, as to be expected with a wheat, and has a slight blue/pink tint to it. I'm going to bottle and keep you updated when I do a taste test. I will test at 2 weeks, cuz I'm an impatient Canadian (oxymoron)? And test periodically to see how the aging effects the flavour. Cheers...Drinking My first batch ever, Cooper Lager...Not bad at all![love] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AB Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Yeh mate was just wondering how it all ended up, sounds like an epic brew. Love a wheat beer and blueberries so will have to throw it on the to do list. AB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 I'll let ya know when I bottle! I hope it turns out well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted November 15, 2012 Author Share Posted November 15, 2012 So I just tried the Blueberry wheat, it's only been bottled for 7 days, but I just had to try it to see if I wasted my time. it is bloody delicious!!![love] No joke! It's a wee bit flat, but the nose has a slight hint, and the initial palate as well. I can'y wait to see how it imporves with age. [cool] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
