Notes

Add Pectic Enzyme after wort cools right before fermentation.

add blueberries slowly to boil as to try not to drop the temperature too far below boil.

Mash water calculations are found by using Grainfather calculations due to the fact that I am using a Grainfather to brew.

add vanilla extract to keg before carbonation
