Notes: Brew Day: March 11, 2014.

One boilover - my first!

OG was only 1.048, way below my estimate of min. 1.053...can't explain why. I was kind of drunk and pitched my yeast before extracting the sample for gravity measurement. Maybe that? Probably not? Did I remove too much yeast in my turkey baster? I'll find out if it doesn't ferment / ferment enough.

03/13: Vigorous fermentation!! The airlock I bought didn't have the bottom cut out so no CO2 wasn't escaping - it looked like it was about to blow. I considered a blow-off tube, but I had roughly 1.5 gallons of head-space and didn't think it was necessary. So I put a real airlock back in and the bubbling was very intense. Probably 2 bubbles a second!!

03/25: Bought 4.4 lbs of Canadian wild blueberries from Hartmans for $17. Pre-frozen. After much deliberation, I decided to heat them up for 15 mins at 170F. I let it cool to probably 35C and added it to secondary. I racked beer over top of it and inserted air lock. I probably lost about 0.2 lbs of berries during transfer (messy!). Im really excited to see how this turns out.

Expectations: Hopefully wheat extract pairs well with the blueberry, amber LME and crystal 40L will hopefully add some sweetness and colour, flowery and spicy notes from cascade hops, 3787 yeast will impart some complex fruity esters and phenolics as usually seen in Belgian dubbels or triples, finally 4.4 lbs of blueberries in secondary for two weeks should hopefully impart a subtle to moderate blueberry taste and colour.

Bottled on April 6, 2014. Forgot to take gravity reading - stupid me! I expect it will be 5.0% based on OG, but I can't be sure of the attenuation.

Final bottle on 07/20:

Last bottle is still overcarbed.

Appearance: Deep dark dirty purple. More brown than purple. Probably because of the crystal malt. Dont use next time. Long lasting head, very bubbly.

Aroma: Primarily fruity, slight blueberry.

Taste: Hard to get over the carbonation but notes of dark fruit. Very crisp as a result of the carb.

Mouthfeel: Very light body, very prickly.

Overall: Besides the overcarb, not a terribly bad beer. Ease up on the crystal next time. No amber next time either. Just wheat and 2-row. It makes it too complex, and not the good type.

Notes: Roast 1-lb organic pecans until aromatics are released; grind coarsely and add to mash. *

Use light or medium unsulphured molasses at 5-minutes left at the end of the boil. Do not use blackstrap. Approximate usage 0.5lbs or 2/3 cups of molasses.

Scrape interior of (1-2) Grade B Madagascar Vanilla bean into bottom of secondary fermentation vessel and rack beer on top of vanilla for 7-14 days or until desired flavor is achieved.

* Pecan Prep
Pecans are oily and that can have an effect on head retention, texture etc. so it is crucial to remove as much oil from the pecans as possible prior to brewing with them. Crush pecans and cook at 315F for 10-15 minutes. A food processor works really well for the crushing. To squeeze out oils, place in paper bags and let them soak or place under paper towels and place weight on them. Repeat this process as many times as necessary.

Alternate: Use 4oz. of Brewer's Best Pecan All-natural flavoring

Notes: I have my 10 gal. mash tun but am still cooking with a 5 gal. brew kettle. I'm limited on how much grain I can use. If you are in the same situation this recipe works great.

Notes: Added cocoa powder with last hops, strained out. Soaked peppers in 1c vodka and added after fermentation was over, let sit for another week or two. Flavor was meh.

Puree habaneros in blender, add after fermentation is complete. New grains should have enough chocolate flavor, but if not maybe steep some cocoa powder in secondary for a while?
