    SRM: (Color): 5

    IBU: (Bitterness): 19


    STEP 1: Sanitizing

    Cleaning is one of the most important steps in brewing. It kills microscopic bacteria, wild yeast and molds that may cause off-flavors in your beer. Make certain to clean all equipment that comes in contact with your beer by following the directions below:

    1. Fill clean keg with warm water to line mark 1 on the back, then add ½ pack (about 1 tablespoon) of No-Rinse Cleanser and stir until dissolved. Once dissolved, the solution is ready to use. Save the remaining ½ of No-Rinse Cleanser because you will need it for bottling.

    2.Screw on lid and swirl the keg so that the cleaning solution makes contact with the entire interior of the keg, including the underside of the lid. Note that the ventilation notches under the lid may leak solution. Allow to sit for at least 2 minutes and swirl again.

    3.To clean the spigot, open it fully and allow liquid to flow for 5 seconds and then close.

    4.Pour the rest of the solution from the keg into a large bowl. Place your spoon/whisk, can opener and measuring cup into the bowl to keep them cleaned throughout the brewing process. Leave them immersed for at least 2 minutes in cleaning solution prior to using.

    5.After all surfaces have been thoroughly cleaned, do not rinse or dry the keg or utensils. Return lid to top of keg, proceed immediately to brewing.


    STEP 2: BREWING

    Brewing beer is the process of combining a starch source (in this case, a malt brewing extract) with yeast. Once combined, the yeast eats the sugars in the malt, producing alcohol and carbon dioxide (CO2). This process is called fermentation.

    1. Remove the yeast packet from under the lid of the can of Brewing Extract,(not needed for this recipe), then place the unopened can and BrewMax LME in hot tap water.

    2. Using the measuring cup, pour 4 cups of water into your clean 3-quart or larger pot. Bring this mixture to a boil, then remove from heat.

    3. Open the can of Brewing Extract and BrewMax LME and pour the contents into the hot mixture in your pot. Stir until thoroughly mixed. This mixture of unfermented beer is called wort.

    4. Fill your fermenter with cold tap water to the mark 1 on the back. If using any other fermenter this would be approximately 1 gallon of water.

    5. Pour the wort into your fermenter, and then bring the volume of the fermenter to mark 2 by adding more cold water. (If you have a different fermenter top it off with cold water to the 8.5-liter mark).

    6. Stir your wort mixture vigorously with your sanitized spoon or whisk.

    7. Sprinkle the WB-06 yeast packet into the keg, and screw on the lid. Do not stir.

    Put your fermenter in a location with a consistent temperature between 68° and 78° F (20°-25° C), and out of direct sunlight. Ferment for 21 days.


    STEP 3: EXTRAS

    Adding extras is the process of adding additional ingredients to a beer which will impart more flavor and aroma in your finished brew.

    1. At day 7 of fermentation you will add the pureed fruit to your fermenter. Use the second packet of No-Rinse Cleanser to sanitze your blender and lid. Add in the can of blueberries and blend. Gently pour this mixture into your fermenter, then using a santized measuring spoon add two teaspoons of vanilla extract and close the lid. Allow to ferment for another 14 days.


    STEP 4: Bottling & Carbonating

    After 21 days, taste a small sample to determine if the beer is fully fermented and ready to bottle. If it tastes like flat beer, it is ready. If it’s sweet, then it’s not ready. Let it ferment for 3 more days (24 total). At this point it is time to bottle. Do not let it sit in the fermenter for longer than 24 days total.

    1.When your beer is ready to bottle, fill a 1-gallon container with warm water, then add the remaining ½ pack of the No-Rinse Cleanser and stir until dissolved. Once dissolved, it is ready to use.

    2.Distribute the cleaning solution equally among the bottles. Screw on caps (or cover with metal cap if using glass bottles) and shake bottles vigorously. Allow to sit 10 minutes, then shake the bottles again. Remove caps and empty all cleaning solution into a large bowl. Use this solution to clean any other equipment you may be using for bottling. Do not rinse.

    3.Add 2 Carbonation Drops to each 740-mL bottle. For 1-liter bottles, add 2 ½ drops; for ½-liter bottles add 1 drop. Alternatively, you can add table sugar using this table as a guide

    4.Holding the bottle at an angle, fill each bottle to about 2 inches from the bottle’s top.

    5.Place caps on bottles, hand tighten, and gently turn the bottle over to check the bottle’s seal. It is not necessary to shake them.

    6.Store the bottles upright and out of direct sunlight in a location with a consistent temperature between 70°-76°F or 21°-24°C. Allow to sit for a minimum of 14 days. If the temperature is cooler than suggested it may take an additional week to reach full carbonation. 


    Tip from our Brewmasters

    After the primary carbonation has taken place your beer is ready to drink. We recommend putting 1 bottle in the refrigerator at first for 48 hrs. After 48hrs. give it a try and if it is up to your liking put the rest of your beer in the fridge. If it does not taste quite right, leave the bottles out at room temp for another week or so. Keep following this method until your brew tastes just how you like it. 

    This process is called conditioning and during this time the yeast left in your beer can help clean up any off flavors. Almost everything gets a little better with time and so will your beer.

    Rated 4 out of 5 by Noah0504 from Easy Drinking Wheat Originally planned on making a Raspberry Wheat for my wife, but we couldn't find canned raspberries anywhere we looked, so I had to pivot! I was not able to use WB-06 yeast when brewing as the Raspberry Wheat uses the yeast included with the Bavarian Weissbier refill. This was easy enough to make. As long as you thoroughly sanitize your blender, there shouldn't be any issues when adding the blueberries. I fermented this for the 21 days per the recipe and found that it was ready after 4 weeks of bottle conditioning. It is an easy drinking wheat with a slight tartness from the blueberries on the back end. Wonderful color as well. This one was wife approved!

    Rated 5 out of 5 by Jordan the beerbarian from Best batch yet. Comes with all you need minus the blueberry I recommend Oregon blueberries in light syrup to blend and add. Makes very good tasting beer. Best batch yet.

    Rated 1 out of 5 by Stretch50 from Disappointed I was really looking forward to this one, but it was my least favorite of the 4 beers I’ve brewed so far. I fermented for the 21 days and conditioned for 4 weeks before refrigerating. I’m not sure if I picked up an infection when I added the blueberries and vanilla extract. No taste of blueberries, it had an acidic taste and hint of a cough medicine taste to it. My Octoberfest, Nilla Porter and Honey Blonde Ale all tasted very good.

    On day 7 I added the blueberries and vanilla very slowly..all went OK and several hrs later I checked it and it blew the lid off my keg and made a mess. Will my beer still be ok with the lid being off for several hrs?

    Asked by: Martinrj79
    While not great, it will depend on the brewing environment. Make sure to clean down anything splashed by beer with some sanitizer (bleach water works well for this). Then just be sure to taste it once it settles back down, if it's sour (like vinegar) then it's best to scrap it. However, there is a level of tartness to this recipe so as long as it tastes good to you at the end of fermentation, then it should be good to bottle. Cheers!

    Will the sanitized soup ladle be good enough to add the puréed canned blueberries to the brew gently and slowly on the 7th day of fermentation?

    Asked by: Gavan3
    As long as you sanitize it, almost any spoon, ladle, or measuring cup will work. We avoid any wooden utensils, but that about the only limit. Cheers

    On day 7 I added my blueberry puree probably a little too quickly and thus, the wort foamed tremendously causing a huge mess. I had to leave the lid off for around 5 minutes for cleanup and also lost alot of liquid. My question is this: Will my beer be ok

    Asked by: GCVIP
    You must have had some very sweet blue berries! Though leaving the lid off is not ideal, your beer should be fine since it was such a short amount of time. Cheers!

    When bottling, is it recommended to stir the wort before bottling or try not to disturb the sediment at the bottom?

    Asked by: Ken929
    You do not want to stir the wort before bottling. You want to be very careful not to disturb the sediment at the bottom of your fermenter.

    Do these recipes come with carbonation drops or do you have to buy those separately?

    Asked by: Misterbrew75
    Hi, The recipes do not come with carbonation drops. They are not required to bottle your beer with, you can just use regular sugar instead, but they do make it easier.
