should I cut my hop additions if I plan on using blueberry extract. I won't know exactly what the hop schedule looks like until I get my kits on Monday, but I'm curious about the flavors clashing

I plan on doing both brews the same day, so I was just curious about which one to add the blueberry, or just do both

I actually tried the oxi trick, I only let it sit for about 4 hours and it worked like a dream. thanks for the tip

I do rinse immediately after, but this one had a cake in the bottom that wouldn't come out.

I hope to do a blueberry beer soon, and I will have 2 choices. Cream ale, or american wheat.Is one better than the other to add the blueberry, or should I just do both?
