This batch has been in the bottle about a week, so I thought I'd post a follow-up. The flavour of the hefeweizen on which we based this is overpowered by the blueberries for sure. So any concern I had about a lack of blueberry flavour has been mitigated. I think the biggest lesson here has...

I'm glad this thread has generated so much interest, and apparently, at least one registration too. Time for me to sign up too.... The brew that caused this whole episode has turned out pretty good... no spoilage or anything. I think the next time I try fruit in the beer I'm going to go...
