Summary:<\/p>\n

So my original page documenting this was corrupted, and I’ll just re-create the important stuff.<\/p>\n

The beer was brewed and fermented as normal, and 4oz of the Blueberry Extract was added to the bottling bucket prior to siphoning the wort into it. \u00a0I also added three teaspoons of brown sugar to warm water for additional conditioning food for the yeast.<\/p>\n

This beer was on the sweet side, but was very well received. \u00a0As time went on (8 weeks of conditioning), the taste really smoothed out. \u00a0It came out far better than I expected, and the extract made adding the fruit flavor very easy. \u00a0One small note: the carbonation in this batch was string, and one bottle even exploded in the 18-gallon plastic bin I use to store the bottles during conditioning.<\/p>\n

I’m not normally a fan of fruit-flavored beer, but this batch has changed my mind a bit. \u00a0I think I will try a banana-flavored stout sometime later this year,<\/p>\n
