This is a copy of the fist brew that I ever did... with a small twist. Blueberries will be added during the dry hopping to give a new flavor. Blueberries were placed in with a bit of starter wort and yeast was pitched ontop. After airlock activity in the blueberries calmed the fruit was pressed and then the juice racked onto the fermenting wort until final gravity was reached. This was carbonated like a standard pale ale.

Notes:

This tastes very good. There is a blueberry tartness (tannin) along with a crisp blueberry aftertaste. The color is a deep pink- red that looks fantastic. Not too much haze either.
