Notes

Lower Protein rest should result in lower head retention. This is planned as it will be highly carbed and may have problems pouring with high head retention.

Higher mash temps to give it a bigger body to balance out the acidity of the blueberries. You can alter the temps to fit the blueberries you can get.

The higher carbonation gave it an almost champagne-like feeling. Very spritzy and delicious.
