Hey, I'm new to homebrewing, I've made one batch from a kit, turned out pretty good. Anyway, I've had friends tell me to try to make a blueberry beer. I've found a recipe for a Blueberry porter, maybe some have seen it. Bad thing is, I'm not a big fan of porters at all but I already have most of the ingredients. My girlfriend saw the recipe and surprised with all the grains.
Here is the recipe http://www.cryptobrewology.com/show_rec ... rry_Porter

Anyway I was just thinking instead of the dry dark malt, going with a wheat or somekind of lager.

Anybody have any ideas if this'll completely ruin the recipe or if it won't really matter.

Thanks

First thing is welcome to the obsession lol. The one thing that I have learned in the couple of years that I have been doing it is try new things. I just made a porter that really wasn't because I changed some of the ingredients. Give it a shot, you might find the next great beer. Good Luck.

Thanks for the suggestion, I may try it.

What I really want to know is if, say I want to use wheat extract, do I have to brew at different temperatures or does ferment at different temperatures. I know lagers usually ferment at lower temps and just don't know much about wheats.

I know I could probably find this info on some website but I just wanted to see what real people had to say.

All of your brewing temps and times would be the same. The ferment temp really depends on the yeast you are using. If it's not a lager I pretty much ferment everything right around 68 degrees and haven't had any issues.
