I Switched the to a Bazooka screen in the Mash tun, replacing the P.V.C. manifold.

While the Boilermaker Boils I get to sit relax, not worry, and have a homebrew.

This is the first tasting of the Late Summer Blueberry Wheat. It has a dark Port wine color. There are blueberries on the nose but not overwhelming. The mouthfeel is spritzy, similar to Proseco. The taste is not sweet, the blueberry is the dominant characteristic with a tart finish. I feel it should be sweeter. I will up the carmel, and mabey add some dextrine malt.
