I was recently at a local bar here in Athens and they had, on tap, a blueberry ale, I was a little tipsy so the name of it escapes me, but my girlfriend was so excited about it I decided to make some for my third batch, a hefeweiss will be my next. I found recipes online but they asked for real blueberries, which I'm sure is the freshest way to do it, but I was at a gorcery store and found smucker's blueberry syrup, I thought this would be a great addition to the wort at the end of the boil, giving the beer both more flavor and more alcohol. Is this a bad idea? Should I just go with frozen/fresh blueberry puree? Let me know what you think. Also, does anyone have a simple blueberry ale recipe for an intermediate brewer?
Thanks
