WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

2 pkg of Trader Joes freeze dried blueberries - place in glass and soak in vodka until primary fermentation is done. Add to secondary carboy and sit for 5-7 days until desired flavor and color is reached.
