So I am plannin on making a blueberry wheat beer for the hot days ahead.
I am currently fermenting a 5 gal batch having used some wheat malt grains for steeping, a can of Coopers wheat malt extract and about half a container of pale malt extract for the fermentables, and Safbrew WB-06 for the yeast. Oh and about 1.5 ounces of Hault hops for bittering and aroma.
I have read this forum and others like it for a good solid answer on how to go about adding fruit to a beer, and it seems like quite a few people go about adding it to secondary when primary is done fermenting.
Now with all that being said my plan was to pick up a few packages of frozen blueberries (around 4 pounds or so) and heat them up to 160 for a few mins, blend them into a puree, add it to secondary and add the fermented beer on top of it and let it sit for a week or until it is done fermenting again to bottle it.
Is my plan a good one or does anyone else have a better way of doing a blueberry wheat beer that I dont know of?
