5 gallon brown ale 2321+5= 2326

Nice, I'll have to try them again.

How are their caps? I use them for labels and they're great but I ordered caps from them maybe 6 years ago and they didn't hold well.

+5 IPA +5 Grodziskie +5 Stout 15+1748= 1763

If you don't already have one, invest in a Clear Beer Draft System. Those berries can be a nightmare in the keg. Also you can ditch the bag if you have one, never had an issue with a clogged dip tube.

I filled two mason jars to the top with the dried berries then poured vodka to about half way (they were packed pretty tight so maybe an ounce or two per jar), then added the whole contents of the jars into the fermenter.

I was definitely aiming for a heave blueberry flavor so you could probably dial it back a bit and still retain the color. I added them to my hefeweizen recipe and you were still able to pick out the lemon and wheat. I’ve wanted to start brewing Berliners but wasn’t ready to start playing with...

You may be able to find them cheaper somewhere else but I used these cause there aren’t any preservatives. The concentration I wanted made freeze dried a lot more cost effective than fresh. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N7ZJ4EY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_AkdGCbFYRG0X7

And way cheaper than buying fresh!

It's VERY purple, the vodka/berry mixture was really dark and almost syrup consistency when I added it.

For a 5Gal batch I used 3Lbs of freeze dried blueberries soaked in vodka over night. Added them to the fermenter for 4 days before kegging.
