Is it possible to get a sweet blueberry flavor in beer? I've been trying to whip up a Blueberry Wheat beer that's somewhat muffin-y sweet, but Lactose doesn't seem to cut it. I've tried it during the boil (1/2lb in 2 gallon batch) and at bottling (1/4lb in a 2 gallon batch) and both don't seem to add anything to it. I can get it to taste like blueberry using fresh blueberries, but with that comes a bit of tartness to it.
I don't have much faith in this fixing it, but I thought about softly mashing blueberries with sucrose and adding either right after primary or to secondary but that'll re-start fermentation and dry out the beer.
Or Maltodextrin is said to be slightly sweeter on the sweetness scale, but reviews also say it's fairly bland.
Is there maybe a yeast out there that'll provide a sweeter flavor? Anyone have success creating a blueberry beer that's more sweet than tart?
