Notes: Cant remember which day I added blueberry and DME. Tonight is 5/23 I get FG 1016. Noticing from notes last time I used london 3 not rva.
5/11/2021
brew day
making a copy for indigo. came out to 6 gallons and 1067 which is 7.6%. was considering adding .5 lb dme to boost it to 8...nah. also just realizing this rva manchester is estimating 85% attenuation to 1010 FG but first batch was actually wy1318 london iii which came out to 83% attenuation and 1018 final gravity... i think i might just run it as is and take this all as learning experience.
it appears i did get almost the exact same 60% efficiency as i did last time, but last time i ended up at 1072 OG vs 1067 this time. the difference is i have approximately 6 gallons of wort. even with all the hops i was over on wort. after the boil it still appeared to be around 7 gallons in the kettle. i guess i should just start accounting for .5 gallons boil loss and .5 trub loss. so 6.5 pre boil, 6 post boil, and 5.5 in fermentor.
also just to note, for yeast i made a double starter for the rva jar and will split the yeast half for this batch and half for a raspberry wheat later this week.
4/1/2011
Kegged last week, tasted great already, the hops were present and pairing well with the blueberry but slightly subdued so I added another 3oz mosaic dry hop to the keg to even it out at 1lb total mosaic. Having a full pint tonight, its money.
==============================
3/22/2021
opened today for gravity reading and to add dry hop. 1.018. smells great. tastes great. not as darkly colored as previous blueberry beer but its like a hazy pink on its way to purple. tastes great, a little harsh bitter note, could be the mosaic? there is no bittering hops in this brew.
should be good! should be ready soon! will leave it to dry hop for 3 days then take out the bag, take another gravity reading to make sure the fruit has fermented out / no further activity. after that will need to cold crash for a day or two then keg. possibly add another 2nd dry hop to the keg. i have a few oz left of the bag.
==============================
3/3/2021
initial recipe formulation
copying base recipe from mango maya. keeping basically the entire grain bill, adjusting efficiency to 60, removing DME and adjusting base malt to get to 8%. im hoping to cook the oats and get better efficiency than in the past. if we end up with 6% it should still be tasty.
axing the 1lb honey malt - i dont think it plays as well with blueberry as it does with mango. also its heavy on lovibond making th ebase beer more orange colored which goes ok with mango but for blueberry im hoping more toward yellow hazy ipa base beer as a bright backdrop for the purple blueberries.
making up a new hop schedule, 100% mosaic. not sure how much to use. starting with 13oz - about the same as mango maya. will probably buy a bag so if it needs 3oz more in a 2nd dry hop, that will be available.
decided on only 3lb blueberry - last time i used blueberry i did 6lbs and it was way too much. i think it will not be lacking in blueberry color and flavor, especially accented by the mosaic.
could maybe do without the vanilla bean? and lactose? prob not. |

Notes: 15min - 8oz Lactose sugar
10 days dry hop - 2lb Toasted coconut (make sure you buy plain coconut, no sugar added). Toast it yourself on a cookie sheet @300F for about 30min, stirring it around a few times so it browns evenly. Also, the first time I bought whole coconuts and took the meat out and diced it up. Tons of work. The second time I bought shredded coconut from Whole Foods, but I did have some problems with a stuck siphon when I was transferring to the bottling bucket. Next time I'll look for coconut flakes instead of shredded in the bulk bin section at Whole Foods.)
May need (2) packets of US-05, or a starter |
