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.

Notes

This recipe calls for a total of 3 lbs of fresh blueberries. Wash them thoroughly beforehand.

While the wort is boiling, put the blueberries in a large pot with some water and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat, cover and cook until the blueberries have broken down into a syrup. Let it cool and then add to the primary fermenter using a funnel before pitching the yeast. Make sure to use a blow-off tube, as the fermentation can be extremely vigorous.

Leave here for 2 weeks, then keg as normal.
