Could I use prefrozen/packaged blueberries that I can buy at a grocery store?

Finishing up my holiday brew. Dark amber ale with cinnamon and nutmeg. Rang in with an abv of 8.2%. Tastes great!

I am brewing a 5 gallon batch of pilsner that has been fermenting for about a week. I wanted to add some fresh blueberries for flavor. When and how would I want to add them? And how much? I have brewed with orange peel but have never added fresh fruit to a batch.

Thank you!

I am adding sweet orange to a Weizenbier, but I am unsure as to when I add the sweet orange. Do I add it with 10 minutes left in the boil or in the fermenter???

My intentions were to zest my own, so the works out well. I don't want to over do the coriander, but I will go maybe an ounce of coriander and 2 ounces of zest. I want the orange to come through.

Lol. Thanks for the info. I will add coriander and zest at the 5-10 minute mark and maybe some orange slices in the secondary. It will all depend on the mood I am in. Happy brewing !

Thank you. How much coriander and orange peel did you use? I am going to brew a 5 gallon batch. Also, I had a friend bake the orange peel prior to using it. Thoughts? I was just thinking fresh orange zest.

I am going to be brewing a "three Weisse guys' wheat beer and I want to give it a unique flavor. At what point do I add the fresh orange zest and coriander to the boil? I was thinking the last 10 minutes of the boil.

Drinking a cascade IPA brewing Dead Ringer IPA today.

I will be brewing a double ipa for the first time.

Sounds great...thanks for the information. I always get great feedback from the experienced brewers on this forum. Definitely helpful for some one just starting.

So the honey malt would have to be added on the brew day?

I have a light ale that is just finishing up the primary stage. I am thinking about adding a honey flavor to the brew when I rack it. I did some reading on it and the book a still a little over my beginner's brain. What is the ratio of honey needed add a small flavor to my five gallon batch...

Wow. I guess orange flavor is a hot topic today. It seems to be the topic every other post. :-)

I was just thinking about adding an orange flavor to an ale I just brewed. I boiled it last night and it is currently bubbling away. Can I add an orange flavor after it has been in the fermenter?

Lol. I used the standard 5 ounces of priming sugar. I will let them Sit for another week or two and see where we are at. Being my first brew, I wasn't sure if I did something wrong.

I brewed a brown ale that sat 3 weeks in primary and two weeks in bottles. The beer tastes great, but has no head at all. I like a little foam on the pour. Is there a reason? Any suggestions on my next brew?

I am going to brew a brewers best cream ale. I am new at all homebrewing. This will be my 4th brew. Cream ale should be light in color but a nice crisp taste correct? I have brewed a brown ale, American amber and ipa.

I agree with the wait. Patience is a great quality for me and my beer.
