| Notes: My first beer I designed all on my own over three years ago. Turned out not too bad. Kept a real nice head (didn't realize not to add so much wheat) with good body and a clean finish. Light hop aroma and not overly bitter. A repeatedly drinkable beer. Good for lawnmowing and thirstquenching. |

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. |

Converted to extract because i am not setup for all-grain. Few alterations to the grain bill to accommodate the liquid malt in place of 2 row, and lowered the flaked oats to be more proportionate. Not making an oatmeal stout here...
chose an irish ale yeast because i was familiar with it from FRIZ, enjoy the flavor profile.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR OREOS:
(To be amended)
separate the cookies, scrape out the cream. liquefy the cream. Uncrushed cookies go in the boil at 20. Liquid cream (at room temp) goes in at 10. May amend to 5 to be with lactose.
I was warned the oils in the cookies may affect my head, so will have to watch for that. in future may look in to a way around this. was told simply not to use the cream, but we know that's not an option ;) |
