Planning on adding this stuff to a wheat beer at bottling time. Anyone have any experience using 100% blueberry juice? I'm having a difficult time figuring out how much I should use. From a lot of the threads I've read, there's plenty of info on fresh/frozen/extract but not 100% juice. I can...

I had to do some hardcore forensics on one of my score sheets in order to even be able to read the writing (very light and good ol chicken scratch). I also enlisted the help of my former-teacher of a wife to decode some of the writing. ...of course I do realize the judges do a good bit of...
