    Bière de Garde A monstrous brown bière de garde

    Just wanna say that I brewed this recipe about 6 months ago with WLP568 Belgian/Saison Blend at a low-ish temp to keep yeast character from overwhelming everything.......excellent beer! This recipe is just what I was looking for, and it definitely keeps improving over time!

    Fruit Beer Blueberry Oatmeal IPA

    Sorry if I've missed your window, but check out that calculator I linked to above, it is very helpful and you can determine exactly how much of whatever sugar you've got you need to add. Should be plenty of info if you google "Priming sugar for bottling" or something like that as well! I believe...

    Fruit Beer Blueberry Oatmeal IPA

    I usually try and give it 2 or 3 days in the fridge, I believe my fridge is at about 37 degrees but it shouldn't make much of a difference if it's different than that! Just make sure that you've allowed the sugars from the blueberries enough time to ferment before you bottle and that you use...

The sugars in the blueberries caused fermentation to pick back up for a 2 or 3 days, so I let it sit for another...

    Fruit Beer Blueberry Oatmeal IPA

    Cracked into these after a long wait......Plenty of blueberry flavor, a great color and aroma! I'll definitely make it again, might swap out the oats for some wheat next time to try and boost the mouthfeel a little bit. I don't think I got much oat contribution from the oats. I could also try...

    Fruit Beer Blueberry Oatmeal IPA

    I've got a batch made with Wundergrain and flaked oats resting on 5 pounds of blueberries and an oz of mosaic dryhop right now.......This thing smells amazing, I'm planning on bottling Monday and it's gonna be real hard to wait till it's properly carbed to crack into it!
