Venus Blueberry Ale

Venus Blueberry Wheat Ale (5.5 gallons)  

5.5 lbs 2 row malt
3.5 lbs wheat malt
6 oz vienna malt
0.5 oz Willamette Hops (60 min)
0.5 oz Fuggles Hops (60 min)
0.5 oz Willamette Hops (30 min)
0.5 oz Fuggles hops (5 min)
SAfale Yeast starter us-05
4 oz. blueberry extract at bottling ($4)

Original Gravity 4% (near top)
Final Gravity

Not a good smell.  No mouthfeel.  Bitter and no sweetness.  Possible problems:  Needs some crystal malt for sweetness.  Likely yeast problems with reused yeast and late start.  Too much blueberry extract?  Use more 2 row and less wheat?

Might like to try this again.
