Beer Recipe

  1. Heat strike water up to 160F/ 71C.
  2. Sit the brew bag into the water and slowly pour in the combined grain making sure to not create grain balls.
  3. Mash in your grain at 152F/ 67C for 30 minutes stirring regularly. Note, make sure to keep an eye on temperature throughout.
  4. After the mash in time is complete, heat up the mash to 175F/ 80C for mash out and pull the bag out.
  5. Bring the mash to the boil and add the bittering hops right after the "hot break" to avoid boil over. You can also add your prepared blueberries.

  7. Last hop drop is at 0 minutes.
  8. Turn off heat source and cool down wort.
  9. Pitch yeast at 65F.
  10. Pour wort into fermenter and aerate.
