Second brew day in the last 7 days...
Picked up a blueberry wheat kit from Jasper's Homebrew, as I'm a fan of the Sea Dog's blueberry wheat beer, and especially the recently discovered Wachusett Blueberry Ale.
Learning from my experience last summer, after adding 6.6 pounds of wheat malt extract, I used a blow off tube instead of trying to rely on an air lock.
OG came in at 1.052, which is at the top of the range listed for the recipe.
Update on March 27th
Bottled this today, FG was 1.016, which makes this brew come in at 4.73% ABV. After my screwup in racking this beer to a secondary (instead of my double wit) after only a week, I can't complain.
Based on the sample tasted (from the hydrometer testing cylinder), this will be keeper. The blueberry, both taste and smell, wasn't as strong as I'd hoped for, but I'll see in a couple weeks after it has a chance to carb up.
