Blueberry wheat

[branding-iron316]

Any tips on making a blueberry wheat from extract and a 96 oz can of blueberries?

I want to do that too...but might use frozen berries. The recipe from the book Brewing Classic Styles by Jamil Zainasheff is my primary resource.

Note! The recipe is for apricot wheat in the book...I intend to sub. blueberries.

I made a blueberry wheat back in January. I used fresh blueberries and I think it turned out really well. Most people suggest 2 lbs. per gallon of beer and I used 1 lb. because I didn't want the blueberries to be over powering. I think next time I'll use 1 1/2 lbs. I just washed the blueberries then put them in a pot and ruptured them with a potato masher. Then I brought them almost to a boil for 10 mins to sanitize them. After that I tossed them in a fine mesh bag and racked on top of them in the secondary. I left the beer on the blue berries for 1 week. Hope this helps.

How much did it change the color of the beer? Did it still look at all like a wheat beer?
