Notes

Probably need 4-5 packets of yeast, or a big starter

  • Pitch @10C
  • Slowly let rise to 12C
  • After 1-2 weeks raise to 16C (1C / day) until done fermenting (diacetyl rest)
  • When finished, transfer to secondary on 100gr/liter defrosted blueberries
  • After secondary is done, bulk lager for 3-4 weeks at 4C
  • After bottling leave it for 2-3 months to condition (at least save some to drink after 2-3 months, it really got better ;-)

    The base beer (without blueberries) makes a good sweet baltic porter, the blueberries give a nice fruity, light sour balance to the sweetness.

    Both the Challenger and Goldings were homegrown and AA percentages just a guess. I suppose any Goldings variety will do well.
