So you recirculate the ice water through the wort chiller...

this is what I do too. marine submersible pump + ice water. i also added in a whirlpool tube & recirculated the wort through my march pump this past weekend. I went from boiling to 64* in about 25 minutes. i only have a 20 or 25' chiller though. probably would've went quicker if i hadn't run out of ice.

I'm (hopefully) brewing my first wheat this coming weekend. depends on if AHS ships my order today or not...

To prepare the blueberries, I placed them in a pot and covered them with just enough water. I heated it up to about 140-150 for 15-20 minutes. I lightly crushed up the berries some at this point to extract some juice and expose more surface area. I then cooled it back down and racked the blonde on top of it. Left it there for about 2 weeks.


this may be a dumb question, but I assume you drained the water and just put the blueberries in the fermenter?
