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

Brewed on July 24th 2016
Secondary with blueberries on August 27th 2016 (gravity was 1.013)
...
...
...
Bottled 10 months later on May 13th 2017. Lots of lost volume to the blueberries (about 2 gal was bottled).
FG is 1.004!

To be tasted from a ballon glass, th flavors were the best :
Medium blueberries presence upfront.
Low to medium brett taste and flavor late in the sip. .
Nice acidity, not as much as a gose/berliner but much more that a regular beer.
Color was dark red/bleu
