Blueberry Beer

I have a wheat base fermenting right now, and have picked up 4 lbs of blueberries since they're on sale at walmart this week. I was told before that freezing and thawing would be good enough to rack on top of. I guess I will be putting them into a pot as stated above.

How long do I let them heat up for at 150?

What is c-20? Crystal 20l? And how many oz of saaz did you use?

Are these blueberry's OK to use?

How were they frozen? If it says individually quick frozen then they will be great, I just put mine in the secondary and racked right on top

Hmm it says they are ready to be frozen but need to be rinsed. They are frozen when I bought them at sobeys. Still in my freezer

Check out an earlier post in this same thread regarding using fresh berries.

You don't have IQF berries. You will need to heat them to kill any nasties that will affect your beer.
