Bottled Blueberry Orgy

SG 0.997 25.7℃ bottling

Airlock activity on this one has also stopped in the last 12 hours or so, and I’m going to take a gamble and bottle it straight away rather than waiting two days for the same gravity reading. And because I’m lazy, and have the production line all set up for the Cherry variant today.

Like that one, this blueberry brew fizzed actively when I dumped 5 ml of Erythritol into each bottle, and maybe for a few minutes afterwards but at a much reduced level as I fitted the flip-tops. Total yield here is 7 x 500 ml, each bottle getting two Easybrew carbonation drops aimed at 500 ml.

Final gravity came in at 0.997, so two points lower than the Cherry and making a total of 6.89% once the cider base was factored in. Taste is a little sharp with a synthetic finish, hopefully that’ll settle down with gentle conditioning as the bottles carbonate.

Off to the server room @ 25.7 ℃ for a couple of days and then out into the cold.
