Not sure but are you willing to ship to Oregon? Of course I'd be willing to pay shipping.

Another question, I thought that if one used blueberry purée that it colored the beer a blue purple? Their beer is a golden color, oh this is a beer by Fat Head Brewing, it's their Bumble Berry Honey Blueberry Ale.

Mash at 152? It is a pretty sweet flavored beer, I thought you'd want to mash at like 156-158? But I'm the newb, please tell me.

On further review of the beer that I am trying to clone its not the previously stated beer... I retried that beer and it is very light on the blueberry flavor, and not sweet at all... good, but in a different sense. Still in search of the beer that I had from my growler store that has put me...

Well after cold crashing for 48 housrs (ish) I kegged it today... tried first with just 4 oz of blueberry essence/extract... and not nearly the flavors I'm going for, so I added the second bottle of 4 oz, and were pretty close... gona let her sit and mellow and carbonate in the keg now for a...

:ban:Today I checked the gravity as the bubbling was subsiding and the krausen was falling back into its self... I got a 1.008!!! wa hoooooo. according to beer friend its done... left off the blow off tube, and wrapped the opening with tin foil, and turned the temp down to 34. tasted my...

Yes, any input please... if someone in the PNW knows of the beer I'm trying to clone... that maybe could help...

update bump

I have another thread going for my current batch, (in the fermenter now) and plan on taking the no secondary approach... how ever, the current batch I have going is just a light wheat beer, that I plan on putting extracts in upon kegging... I rarely do bottles...

Thanks Gavin, If you see in my other thread, I did converse with my LHBS a bit more, and chose to take my current batch "my direction" and trying to follow a few things lined out there in the forum and see how much better this next batch will turn out!!! I am positive. Thanks for your input and...

Ok fellow brewers, I went back and had a discussion with my LHBS about his kit and instructions... got a lil snipy at first, but explained that he designed that kit to be a light beer with a touch of Blueberry... OK... So I brewed up My version Saturday. 2-1/2# wheat DME 1-1/2# Light DME 2 OZ...

Follow up to my post. Apparently my LHB guy wasn't wrong in this case, taste over notes wins... I tapped the keg yesterday and poured a couple glasses, the first one was pretty cloudy, so I poured a second, and it was a bit clearer, tasted it.... WHOA that was NASTY, definitely WAY worse than...

Can some one tell me how much DME I should use the, also the kit only came with 2 oz bottle of blueberry extract, I also question if that is enough for a 5 gal batch.

I am very close to pulling the plug and switching to BIAB. One question that I have is that the kits NB sellers for BIAB seem to all be 3 gal batches. All the equipment I own is for 5 or larger, I know it WOULD work, but, back to the question, will ANY of the NB all grain kits work for BIAB on...
