Anyone have any experience or thoughts about this?
I'm about to make a blueberry wheat with fresh picked berries, and someone asked me if I was going to pasteurize the berries. I'm not, but that got me thinking about putting the beer in the fridge for the secondary fermentation, for the time when it will be sitting on the blueberries. Which leads me to the following questions...
Would a cold secondary help preserve the fresh blueberry flavor & aroma?
Would it help prevent wild yeasts or bacteria from getting a toehold on my beer?
Would it just be a waste of fridge space? (sadly not a problem right now)
Thoughts?
