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.

Notes: I brew with soft water. Ph is around 8. I also expected higher efficiency e.g. around 75%. Was aiming for ABV right around 8%
CaSO4: 7,2 gram (Add to mash water)
CaCO3: 1,8 gram (Add to mash water)
NaHCO3: 1,8 gram (Add to mash water)
CaSO4: 8 gram (Add to sparging water)
I used a "Hop Alpha Acid Age Adjustment Calculator" to get the right IBU |

Notes: Special Brewing Instructions:
1. At start of boil, put dried lingonberries in the blender and cover with wort from the kettle. Puree, cool, and add the pectic enzyme. Refrigerate for one 1 day. Add this mix to the fermenter on day two of fermentation.
2. After 30 minutes of the boil, remove two cups of wort to a smaller pot. Heat the wort to keep it hot, but do not boil it. Add the yarrow, meadowsweet, and birch syrup. Steep this mix until the end of the boil, then strain it into to the kettle.
3. Add the cranberry concentrate and honey immediately after flame-out (end of boil).
Residue of this gruit was recovered from the grave of the Egtved Girl, and was reproduced as "Kvasir" by Dr. Pat McGovern and Dogfish Head Craft Brewery in 2013. This is what the Danes drank before they were Danes, over two thousand years before they were even Vikings, in a time before Christ or Odin, when they worshiped the sun. Brew it and think of her, a young woman with short blond hair and a braided skirt, who died in ca. 1370 BC.
