I tried brewing this recipe, but substituting real blueberries in the secondary ferment for the blueberry extract. It was really expensive, time consuming, and in the end not very blueberry-ish. It had a hint of blueberry flavor but mostly tasted sweet. I reccommend using fruit extracts for fruit beers, unless your experimenting or are made of money. I used 3lbs of blueberries and it tacked on an extra $15, at that rate might as well go buy some Sweetwater blue. This recipe may be just fine with the blueberry extract, but the honey also makes it expensive. Much more expensive than listed on recipe.
quite nice, actually

While I am somewhat biased of course, I wanted to add an update on the outcome. The beer is roughly 8 months old now and has developed a surprisingly rich, honey scent and flavor. The hop profile is a bit light according to a BA-associated judge I met at Dark Lord Day. People might want to consider adding an additional half-ounce at 30 minutes. I was also really surprised by how nice the blue-berry extract worked. Further brewing with actual fruit might be superior, but the extract is not bad. Anyway, this has now surpassed the 2007 dunkleweizen as the best brew so far.

I just wanted to know when you put the blueberry extract in? was it in the primary, secondary or in the bottle? Thanks!

We added it at flame-out. Although after having a few more fruit-beers under my belt, I would now, probably add it well into the primary, or even during the secondary fermentation. For some reason, flavors seem to be diminished somewhat if they are added before the major fermentation period. Adding the extract during the boil will drive off the lighter, more volatile flavor components (i.e. easily recognizable blue-berry notes)
