Brew Batch #54 REINKE'S REVENGE 2013

Ok, so it's not the actual true brew date but at least it's in the same month. Reinke's into the lauter today with Andy Mc observing. OG 1.080+0.001 @69F, which falls in line with the other 8 batches prior (Junk/Red gotta do something huge for batch 10, maybe a true bourbon barrel aging?) All hops were same as original except didn't have Galena went with Columbus, now for the real treat. I did #44 on 3lbs. of red raspberries, after some inspiration by Junk and his donations (and of course an almost exquisite summer sampler by Red), I'll be sourcing out about 5-6lbs of blueberries to secondary on. After much input by Andy Mc, this time of year may require some ingenuity with regards to true fruit flavor, but that should be easily remedied.
