Jackie's Blueberry Amber
- 6lb Amber DME
- 2lb Wheat DME
- 1oz Cluster Hop Pellets (7.5%AA)
- 1oz Liberty Hop Pellets (4.3%AA)
- 1oz Coriander
- 3lb Blueberry Puree
- dried ale yeast
- 1tsp Irish Moss
This was a comedy of errors. First off, it was delayed due to rain. Then 3lbs of Wheat DME blew up on me and the original hops I'd planned to use were no good. Wort chiller came apart during sterilization and had to be repaired while 220 degrees. On top of that, the yeast was DOA. So what started as a Blueberry Wheat becomes a Blueberry Amber...Let's hope it's drinkable.
45 Minute boil (to curb the bitterness) at 220 degrees with the Cluster hops. Added the Liberty Hops, Coriander, and Irish Moss to last 15 Minutes. Cooled wort to 75 degrees and pitched the (apparently dead) yeast. Pitched emergency backup yeast when no signs of fermentation were evident after 24 hours. Added Blueberry Puree to wort when bubbles through the airlock slowed to 1/minute.
