I'm brewing a saison this weekend. I'm using the same grist I used last year for a raspberry saison:
11 Pils
1 Vienna
1 Wheat
WY3711
Plan is to rack onto blueberries after primary (just like I did with the raspberries). The raspberry was one of the best beers I've done. I was planning on having this one for the bottle share/tasting at my wedding in April. I wanted to do blueberries because, well, I love blueberries, I've never done a beer with them, and I could aptly name it "Something Blue." But I've recently read that the blueberry flavors fades significantly. Have any of you ever experienced this? Any other avenues I could travel to retain some blueberry flavor? I typically steer clear of concentrates because I feel like they all have a chemical/medicinal/manufactured flavor to them.
