I did a search to see when I am suppose to add pectic enzyme and I could not find anything regarding when adding fruit in the secondary.

When is the recommended time to add pectic when adding blueberries to a secondary? Before pitching the yeast? When racking to the secondary?

Are you talking about adding it after the wort is cool? If not, I would recommend adding it when the wort is say below 100 degrees F. I'm not sure of the exact temperature that pectinase (enzyme in pectic enzyme) denatures at, but I would say it is below boiling.

When I've used it, I would add it when adding the fruit to secondary.
