Real Men Drink Blueberry Beer

I brewed a Wheat Beer last month. The recipe calls for an ounce of blueberry extract to be added. I was a little gun-shy about adding blueberry to my nice beer so I went ahead and kegged it without the extract. It tasted fine without it, a little bland perhaps but OK.

Well, I got curious and decided to add a couple drops of the blueberry extract to a glass and pour the beer on top of it. Much to my surprise it tasted great. Gave it a nice tang that blended with the coriander nicely.

So, now that I'm a true believer in the blueberry I bled the pressure out of the keg and added two capfuls of the extract. I probably could have done more, but decided to err on the side of caution.
