About 1 1/2 months ago i brewed up a wheat beer and i primary fermented it with brett yeast. It bubbled away there at first and the krausen came and went. I checked on it yesterday to see how things were going, and it is starting to get a thin little pellicle on there. Exciting! I havent sampled it yet and i was wanting to throw in some blueberries.
Is that a bad idea at this point? i would like to get some freshly picked bloobs into the beer if it isnt going to ruin it. I wasnt planning on racking it into a secondary, just dropping the bloobs right in. Another bad idea?
 
sounds like a fine plan to me. don't worry about the pellicle. just drop those berries in there. you might want to freeze and thaw them first, that helps with breaking down the berries' cells, skins, etc.
 
Great thanks! i appreciate the response. Ill be dropping them in withing the next couple days after a nice freeze
 
Try the beer first. Make sure it's something you want to add fruit to. It might be amazeballs by itself, or it might taste like just...balls, and fruit might be a waste.
