I was trying to make a light fruit ale for the hot days of summer, and this turned out pretty good, special thanks to Karrie & Kieth Simon for all the difficult tasting sessions.

This is a beer you can drink all day, it goes down well and is very easy to make.

Ingredients:

3.3Lbs Liquid Light Malt Extract
3.3Lbs Liquid Amber Malt Extract
3/4 cup priming sugar
1.5 oz hallertau hops
Ale yeast packet
4.0 oz L.D. Carlson Blueberry Extract

Procedure:

Boil 1.5 gal cold water, add all malts and .75oz hopps, at last 10 min, add balance of hopps, and at 5 min add blueberry extract.

I piched the yeast at 70 deg. and racked into secondary after 3 - 4 days, and bottled after another 5 days. It is very smooth, and dfoes tast like a grape jolly rancher!
