Notes: Mash for 60 minutes at 152°F (67°C). Vorlauf, sparge, and run off into the kettle. Top up as needed. Boil for 75 minutes, adding the yeast nutrient with 10 minutes left in the boil. After the boil, chill the wort to target 175°F (79°C) and add the whirlpool/hop-stand hops. Allow the hop stand to continue for 15 minutes. After the hop stand, chill the wort to 80°F (27°C) and aerate. Pitch the yeast and set the fermentation temperature to 90°F (32°C). Let the temperature free rise to 95°F (35°C) until terminal gravity is achieved. Once gravity is stable, chill to 70°F (21°C) and add the dry hops for 3–5 days. Then cold crash, package, and carbonate.

Notes: Day 1:
1) Heat up ~5 gallons of hot water.
1a) Do the Melanoid Malt / Oats / Pale 2-row as a side batch at its own temperature in a bag. Aim for ~155-160 degrees for an hour.
2) Add extracts and bring to boil. (add Melanoid Mix malt here) -- No need to boil for long, just enough to get the malt sterilized.
3) Cool to ~90 degrees and transfer gently to the fermenter (the less oxygen the better at this point).
4) Pitch the Lacto Plantarum Yeast starter.
5) Keep ~90 degrees for 48 hours to lower the ph. (Should drop ph to ~3.4-3.2.)

Day 3:
5) Drain portion of wort (~half) into kettle.
6) Add hops. Boil for 30 minutes.
7) 10mins: Add coriander.
8) 10mins: Add salt.
9) 10mins: Add Irish Moss.
10) 10mins: Add yeast nutrient.
11) Chill to ~80 degrees.
12) Mix back into the fermenter (vigorously, to oxygenate the wort and encourage yeast).
13) Pitch yeast & bacteria culture.*
14) Cool to ~70 and start primary fermentation. Ferment for 6-7 days.

[Day 3 Check-in: Hit the original gravity spot on at 1.056. Taste is slightly sour -- just a bit of mouth puckering happening. But also terribly sweet, so hard to say. The hint of salt seems about right and the overall flavor is about what I was aiming for. Basic fairly malty beer, but with some savory complexity from the coriander and salt. Drying this up will help a lot.]

Day 10:
15) Rack into 2ndary. Leave for ~2-4 weeks, letting the Pedio and Brett get working. If fermentation is still going, let age even longer.
16) optional -- third rack onto some oak chips. Then, age for for a month.

[Day 15 check-in: Racked beer into 2ndary. Let it sit in primary a bit longer than planned, but was fermenting really slowly, so I think that's fine. The gravity is down to 1.020, so coming along nicely, but not done fermenting yet. Goal is 1.011. The taste is much better than previously. Dryer, but with a nice amount of sourness. Maybe not as much as I had hoped for, but it still might sour a tad more as it ages. The flavor is good, much like the Destihl "Here Gose Nothing" that I'm shooting for, just a little less puckeringly sour -- but still really impressive for doing it myself. Good malty flavor, and seems almost dry enough to go but still just a tad sweet. So far, a good clean taste with no off flavors. Saltiness comes through in the mouthfeel, too. Overall, really happy with where it's going. Plan for bottling: Leave to age for 2-3 weeks, then bottle ~4 gallons of it, and rack 1 gallon onto some oak chips and maybe a bit more sugar to revive and age it for longer.]

Day 24-31:
17) Bottle and condition. Age for at least two weeks.

*Yeast Culture: Needs: Lacto, Pedio, Brett, and Sach. The addition of hops will slow down the Lacto, so no need to kill all of it... Prep this a day ahead of time by mixing a sour blend of yeast with DME extract. Get it frothing a bit and going healthy.

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: Using BIAB for mash, with batch sparge. Sparge involves moving the bag to 76CF water 2 times, with 5 minute immersions, drip draining, and a firm but not aggressive squeeze on final drip.

Omega Labs OYL-004 West Coast Ale yeast, 2nd generation.

Replaced 22g of cascade 4 day dry hop, with Amarillo.

Will try to bag hops to reduce heavy trub from dry hopping.

Ferment at 19C, raise to 22C before ferm complete to ensure full attenuation and to facilitate diacetyl rest.

Revisiting recipe after reading about need to at no chilll time due to whirlpooling. Only 5 min raised IBU's by 5 which explains unexpected bitterness in final product. Must allow for this in future brews.
