So I'll mash em up sanitize freeze them and put into my secondary. Sound like a plan??

Should I mash them up or throw them whole. I was just gonna throw them in whole.

I'm guessing you mean the inside of the bag?

I plan to use the whole berries. Should I crush and pasteurize them. I've heard that freezing the should be enough to kill any nasties.

Looking for some opinions on a good extract kit to use for a blueberry ale. I'm thinking about NB's American amber ale or there Witbier. I appreciate any suggestions. Thanks, Chris

From what I've learned from the great folks on this forum it should be fine. My first two batches sat for three weeks and I couldn't bottle my most recent batch due to some things that came up so it sat for four and I asked the same question as you. Everyone said it should be fine if not...

This kicks a$$...!!! Keep em coming...!!!

4 weeks it is then. My first two batches sat for three weeks so it will be interesting to see the difference another week makes.

So I brewed my third batch NB's Waldo lake amber ale extract kit and was going to bottle last Sunday but had a bunch of stuff come up so it looks like I will not get to it until Friday that's exactly four weeks. Is this too much time in the primary?? Should I try to bottle ASAP? Thanks in...

Awesome thread glad I came across it. I assume that grains used for steeping are still ok to make treats with..??

That's why I keep the lid on and keep the ice, water and or snow outside my brew kettle.

I use the autosiphon to create a swirl and use it to also to stir it a little.

Thanks for the reply. I usually primary for three weeks should I cut this down to two so it can have time in the secondary or just add the extra time in the secondary?? BTW I want to apologize to the OP for hijacking his thread but I figured he was asking questions similar to ones I have I...

I have a question I want to do a blueberry ale and was wondering if you add the fruit after fermentation is finished or what???

I like to use a large cooler outside and i fill it with water and ice or even snow it seems to work really well for me and usually gets the wort down to 68 or 70 degrees in about 15 or 20 min with enough snow or ice. I always leave the cover on the pot just to keep out anything that could cause...

That's cool I'll have to check that out, thanks for the heads up.
