Thanks, I appreciate that. I don't think I can go wrong with the wheat alone. I love me a nice wheat. Thanks for your input!!

Was thinking about making a double batch of this and adding blueberries to one. Would that be too much for this? I see strawberries were a hit, but blueberries are more tart, and didn't know if that would blend well with this. Any thoughts?

I've converted this fridge, and it does have room for two corny's and a 5 lb CO2 tank on the bank hump in the fridge. It's tight, but it certainly works!! Good luck!
