1oz Saaz (@ 10min)
Wyeast 3711 French Saison
6lbs frozen Blueberries (In Secondary)

This one turned out alright. I don't think I would make it again though. I think fruit is more suited to a yeast that does not ferment out all the sugars. Tastes slightly medical. Here are some shots:

I made this beer with all my left over supplies that were living in the freezer. It was a 3g batch that was 50/50 wheat and pale malt, some crystal and dme. Hopped it 1.5oz of assorted left over hops. For yeast I used pacman yeast that I re-cultured from two Yellow Snow IPA bottles. Got to love free beer! Here are some photos:
