So could I do this with and extract kit (read, I'm brand new to this). Brew a wheat beer extract, ferment for ~2weeks, rack to secondary with sorbate (how much) and 8lbs frozen blueberries, let soak for 2weeks?? or I could bluntly ask for your recipe.

Excuse my ignorance. Does the sorbate kill the yeast to prevent more fermenting? Or what's the point?

If by chance you are referring to Athens, GA (granted a long way from Chicago) it was most likely SweetWater Blue. I know the beer. Its what I bribe my girlfriend with when I want to buy a beer she doesn't like. To be honest, I was really hoping you had a recipe already for a Blueberry wheat...

I like the zero part. In Clemson we use to have a $10 deposit on keg shells. So I'm going to make a few phone calls and try to get a free shell, if not I'll call the old fraternity and get them to put a couple of shells aside.

How much do most people pay for a keg to convert into a keggle? or is there somewhere to go to get worn out kegs from a brewery?

What do you use to design them? I tried powerpoint, but I can't seem to get 4 labels on one page and full size (3.5x5)

I love imperial...ok, maybe I love Costa Rica and drank alot of beer there. Either way I'm glad someone else knows of Imperial.

Ok. I'm definitely going to need one or four of those. That's awesome. Where did you get it made?

Well that's certainly more sensible than what I was thinking. Plugging a pressurized air line in and seeing if I could blow the lid off ;) but that would have made for a good story, trip to the ER and a run to the LHBS for a new bucket.

Possibly a stupid question. How do you check if its air tight? Obviously I'm new to this.

Ok. So the consensus is 3 weeks in the primary, but how long is too long in the primary. For example, I have to leave for a 4 week away rotation this summer, can I leave it or will it start to go bad? Or...what's the time frame to move to a secondary if you have to wait a while to bottle?

Awesome...I'm jealous.

This isn't my work, I wish I could take credit though:

How did the pickle bucket turn out? I was thinking of grabbing a few for secondary..or maybe just a sanitizer bucket if it cleans out ok.
