I made a blueberry hefe that is done fermenting from 1.08 OG to 1.035 FG. This is my first fruit beer, and I am going to add blueberries get more flavor(I know this is very common), but the alcohol level is right where I want it.
If i add the blueberries into the primary and cold crash the whole bucket, wait a couple weeks, and then siphon into a keg is there any foreseeable problem with this method? Will the yeast still eat up the sugars from the blueberries in the fridge since practically all the yeast is still in the primary bucket?
Should I rack into a keg first to remove most of the yeast then add the blueberries with a muslin bag? Does anyone have experience with this being easier?
I thought racking and cold crashing would essentially halt all fermentation, but now as I research I find conflicting information so I am a bit lost.
I guess i'm just torn on what is the easiest method while avoiding clogging the keg and keeping the ABV at the same level. What do you guys normally do? Any advice or experience you can share is appreciated.
