Notes
  1. Do an yeast starter 2 days before the brewing day.
  2. Brewing day: crush the grains (8oz wheat malt), add 2 gal of water to your kettle and heat to 155F; add the grain bag and stir for 30 minutes.
  3. Remove the kettle from burner, remove the bag, add wheat LME (6.6lb) slowly while stirring. (malt has to be completely dissolved before placing the kettle back on the burner)
  4. Heat to a boil; when reaching boil add 1 oz Cascade hops (@ 60min)
  5. Add Irish Moss @ 15 min
  6. Sanitize the fermentor; dissolve the Blueberry Special Blend in 4 cups of water and add to the fermentor along with 2 gal of cold water
  7. Cool the wort as fast as possible to 70-80F
  8. Pour the wort through a sanitized funnel and strainer
  9. Top up the fermentor with cold water up to 5 gal. Stir the wort and oxygenate with O2 for 30 seconds.
  10. Once wort reach 68-70F, take a gravity read and pitch the yeast. Seal the fermentor.
  11. Primary fermentation: 68-72F for 10-14 days (dump the trub if you are using a conical); Secondary fermentation: 1 week
  12. Dry hop with 0.5oz of Cascade 1 week before kegging (day 14)
  13. On the kegging day, add 4oz of Blueberry flavor to your keg before force carbonate
