The coveted Blasphemy Blue Wheat

Now the most coveted of Mikey T's beers will be blogged about but unfortunately the recipe will not be shared but with only the most trustworthy people....as Stone's Arrogant Bastard's motto goes,

You aren't worthy!”
(I am being serious)

So my inspiration for this beer which I have dubbed, the Blasphemy Blue Wheat, ABV of about 5.5%, came from the beer world's lack of blueberry flavored beers and my love for blueberry flavored things. THe blueberry ales seemed lacking so I decided to go with a blueberry wheat. People love raspberry wheats so why not a blueberry one?

I started with a German hefeweizen recipe and worked my way from there. When I first made this beer it was not blueberry season and I was not able to get fresh blueberries so I used extract. The blueberry flavor comes from tastings as the beer ferments and grows. Therefore I cannot accurately give measurements but have some idea of them on paper. (Computer stored recipes can be hacked and therefore stolen so I have coded all my recipes so that I can decipher them.) HAHA Since then the beer has just gotten better and better to where it has been described as “nectar from the gods with a hint blueberry” to just “blueberry beer deliciousness.” So I haven't decided if I want to use fresh blueberries or not yet. I cannot get the beer to turn blue it has more of a purplish/golden twinge to it. Since this beer has become more popular I will not share the recipe with you guys unless you are a professional brewer who wants to commercially produce this or you are a local brewery wanting to try something new. (10 Barrel you should attempt this one. You guys have balls the size of Jupiter and go out on a limb often with your beers. Let's make a deal for this one!)

For those who want some pointers and tips on wanting to make this beer let me know and I will glad help out. I will NOT share the recipe. If you want and I have some on hand I am more than willing to share a bottle with you!
