6# of frozen blueberries in secondary, and repitch with s-05 slurry from a prior batch. Let this secondary ferment cool to pull some of the peachy esters from the s-05.
As opposed to many commercial beers, the blueberry flavor is up front and lingers, a noticeable sweetness lingers as the base earthy flavor cleans up the palette.
This was made for my sisters wedding, I only had 2 weeks in the keg so there was a little bit of carb bite. but not noticeable unless you knew what you were looking for.
