speaking of fruit beer:
I just tried a Leinenkugel Summer Wheat.

The blueberry flavor is a little strong for my taste, but it is different if your looking for something out of the ordinary
I think the grain bags i used let a whole lot of stuff thru, and i didn't use a bag for my hop pellets.....oh and i did not filter out anything when moving into my primary....which reading now i think i should of. I'm talking like a good 2"- 2 1/2" settled on bottom and a buinch swirling around...
