I put a 5l batch of this on last Friday - just done an SG and it's 1.002. That's fermented in super quick time.
Had a taste and it is quite nice isn't it. Very subtle on the Blueberry but nice and fresh.
Will bottle up on Saturday.

if i was primed with some blueberry juice when bottling then it might just come out with more blueberry flavour ?

see how much sugar is in a carton of blueberry juice and then put it at the bottom of your bottling barrel then it will disperse with ease , give a few whirl wind moments with a stirrer and boom

what do you think @roddy@
 
Don't think there's enough sugar in the blueberry for priming.. 9g per 100ml ?

Bottled 😀 with 300g of sugar

Had a cheeky taste while bottling, tasting very very nice... high hopes for this one 😃

Hmm had a pre-opening tonight and a bit disappointing at this stage, pretty flat

It was sitting in primary for a week or so longer than usual, so it was already clearing by the time I bottled it, but that shouldn't make that much difference.

Might just have to be patient for another week or so 😯

For the sake of forum "sharemanship" I'm willing to interrupt my supping of a strawberry WOW on the grounds of research ! Give me 5 [emoji106]

She's got life !!
This one is a little sweet - but I think that's because I only did a 5l and probably chucked in too much of that cider yeast !

Quaffable though for sure [emoji106][emoji106]

That's looking very good mate, how much sugar didn't you prime with ?

Thanks for putting my mind at rest haha

Did you not want to batch prime ?

I just ask as I have never batch primed and see a lot of people still prime each bottle
 
Prime 50 bottles ? No thanks mate 😯

I batch prime all my tc's.... I only do 25L batches though 😃😃😃

I'm learning as I go .. but always bottle prime 5L batches as easy but follow Roddy's advice now on batch priming 25l jobbies.

Oh oh don't take my advice now hehe 😂

Come to think of it matey - you should be held accountable for much more :

Mrs AK - complaining that my brews are taking over the house (aka just following Roddy's recipes !)

Mrs AK complaining the dishwasher is full of bottles ! (Aka just prepping for bottling one of Roddy's recipes)

Mrs AK complaining of hangover (AKA drinking too much of Roddy's cider recipe brews )

Mrs AK complaining of my snoring (AKA PvT_AK drinking too much Wow and cider)

What do you have to say for yourself ?!

Haha, not too much mate, Mrs Roddy is usually first to bed, semi comatose with my latest wow haha

Bad luck with that 😄

Mrs Roddy would bitch all the more if she didn't drink more of my wows that i do haha

Have you tried since Roddy ?

Yes had a bottle tonight and moved the batch of bottles from the warm cupboard to the cooler under stairs one.

It's weird, the pet bottles are quite firm but they're still flat as a witches t*t 😢. Just a hint of a pffft when opening

They taste alright but a bit more fizz would have gone a long way. They should perk up if left for a bit (usually my main problem haha)

Have you sampled another of yours yet ?
