Notes: My homebrew shop was out of the regular American Ale so I used American Ale II and I was happy with the results.
For the orange I just sanitized the orange, took the skin off to get me 1 oz and threw it in with my Irish Moss.
It sat in my primary then I siphoned to condition for three weeks.
Kegged it at 8.2 and after 5 days it tastes great! It's a little more pale than a typical American IPA, but it's very drinkable--which is what I was going for. |

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: Brewed during the COVID-19 Virus Pandemic of 2020.
Yeast Starter: (1-2 days ahead)
Break the yeast packet.
When the packet has expanded, mix 1/2 cup of malt extract into 2 cups of water (or double this in a gallon jug).
Bring to boil - simmer for 10 mins. Add ¼ teaspoon of yeast nutrient.
Cool to 80 F - pour into sterile 2 qt. jar. Add yeast and cover with aluminum foil.
Shake as often as possible (seriously, multiple times a day!)
Wort:
Bring 2 gallons of water 160F. Add grains and steep for 25 mins.
Turn off heat. Add all sugars. Add water or extract to reach target gravity. Check gravity with a refractometer.
Bring to boil and add bittering hops.
Boil for 45 mins. and then add the aroma hops, 1 tsp. of Irish Moss and ½ tsp. yeast nutrient. At this time place the wort chiller in the brew pot to sterilize.
After 60 mins., remove from heat.
Begin to force cool.
Cool to 80F, and add to cool water in fermenter. Take readings.
Aerate well and pitch yeast.
Ferment for 1 week between 64-72F.
Sanitize can of cherry puree. Pour cherry puree into secondary bucket and transfer beer. Stir occasionally with a sterilized spoon.
Leave in secondary for 2 weeks. Take readings.
Bottle with priming sugar. Drink in 2-4 weeks.
