blueberry

Several years back, I used to homebrew beer, extract and all grain. I moved away from the friends I used to brew with, to an area with no homebrew supply stores within an hour and horrible water quality. Since then, I married and have a two year old. I figured that I could still have some fun...

Hello everyone, I just recently made an oatmeal blueberry SMASH and wanted some advice. I want to add vanilla for some reason. Hoping for a little twist. Any thoughts on that? I just finished kegging tonight and was just laying in bed thinking what would 1-2 oz of vanilla extract do....and...

So I’ve been considering a couple different ideas for JAOM; chocolate orange spice mead and blueberry chocolate mead. Blueberry: -3.5 pounds wildflower honey -1 pound organic blueberries (frozen then crushed in cheesecloth) -1 oz cocoa nibs (present for secondary) Orange: -3.5 pounds clover...

I am thinking about making my first batch of wine. I have a bunch of blueberries frozen that I can thaw out and use. I just got a two gallon fermenting bucket. I was figuring I would find a recipe I liked and fill that bucket. I will probably try to put the thawed blueberries into a paint...

Hey Everybody! I started a blueberry wine about a month ago. When I went to rack it I lost about a 1/2 gallon of wine after removing sentiment and pulp, Should I add a 3:1 grape concentrate to refill the demijohn or should I just leave it? The taste is pretty good and I didn't know if I...

So I've got this IPA recipe I want to try and I want to add blueberries for color and flavor. So my question is when should I add them? While boiling in hop bag? Dip them in vodka and when racking beer to secondary? Or just both? Also I'd like to know what's the procedure for vodka sanitizing...

Hello I'm planing on brewing a blueberry wit (all grain) and the recipe calls for blueberry extract but I can only find the extract in tablets like vitamin Do you think I can use this? I also wanted to add this extract to a pale ale I have fermenting so it would go for secondary so while I...

I started 3 batches a month apart so that I could have a constant list of things to do rather than doing a lot all at once. My blueberry and blackberry mead was ready for tasting and I'm very happy to report that it is quite good. Below is part of the post I made on my website. If you want to...

So, I've read a number of posts here where folks report trouble getting blueberry wine to ferment. Given this chatter, I decided it best to run a bench trial before going for a larger batch. I bought 30# of frozen Michigan blueberries and have a small batch going along. I have no idea what...

This has come to my mind as I am planning a blueberry melomel in the near future, but I've encountered this problem before. I have been unfortunate in not managing this problem well because I didn't have the foresight to see it until it was there :/ I have a peach melomel that cloged the heck...
