Any input on this?
2.5 gal
3# extra light liquid malt
1# wheat liquid extract
Mini mash:
3 oz cara red
3 oz Belgium aromatic
2 oz acid malt
1/2 oz kent Golding
2 vials white labs Brett Brux
1 vial white labs Brett lambicus
3 lbs frozen blueberries
1 tsp saffron last 15 minutes of boil (maybe)
Made a 1.050 pint starter and pitched all 3 Brett's yesterday getting bubbles every 8 seconds today. Gonna wait a few days then add another pint of 1.050 wort then after a few days pitch the starter. I'm either gonna run the blueberries through my girlfriends juicer or I'll blend them up and add the pulp. Haven't decided weather or not to add it to the secondary or half way through the primary. This experiment is to hopefully crank out a quick sour with Brett character. That's why I'm thinking about the blueberries in the primary as to hopefully scrub off some fruit flavor and keep the tartness. I'm way too new to attempt this kinda thing but I can't help myself what do you guys think?
