Hey all!
I am making my first attempt at a blueberry ale. I made a low hop American ale 1lb LME 1Lb DME. Fermented out 1 week to 1.008 SG than racking to my secondary with 6lbs of blueberries to my 5 gal batch.
I soaked my blueberries in sanstar froze and racked sanstar over to thaw prior to adding to secondary and racking beer over. Now the question being many of the blueberry skins did break open (which i was hoping for) and they are now floating at the top its been 2 days, I know that the CO2 should protect from mold/infection, but should I stir to remix berries in? Will this help add flavor or my thought cause too many sugars to ferment and take away the aroma and taste?
