Could you guys help me convert this ALL GRAIN into a 5 gallon MINI-MASH recipe? Also I would like an alcohol content of 5.5+ if possible.

Would adding dextrose throw off the flavor, if not, how much would be advisable to boost the ABV?

Thanks in advance!

If you bump everything up by 20% you ought to be able to do the flaked wheat the six row and the specialty grains in a 5 gallon mash tun. Wheat and pale DME are fairly easy to find.

I would go with 2.0# of wheat DME and 5-6# of pale LME.

The blueberries are gonna ferment out pretty far I have read, I have never used them and wouldn't care to guess at the potential alcohol in those.

You do want the 6 row in there with the other grains. If you can fit a little bit more in your tun, start in on fitting the about 2# of malted wheat you would need and back down on the wheatME.
