Well big for me anyway!
I have ten pound of each so will start a five gallon batch.
Last year I fermented on pulp in the traditional way and used Gervin number 2 yeast.
I'm wondering this year if anyone could suggest a better yeast that would be good?
As it happens I have been "hibernating" my Gervin 2 culture in the fridge for 5 or 6 months now, even though It seems to have sprung to life again tonight with a bit of apple juice, would it be recommended to use again after so long in the fridge?
On top of that..I have been reading some of the threads on juicing elder berry's...I have a centrifugal one which I haven't actually used yet. Would it be worthwhile juicing all 20 pounds of fruit for this five gallon batch? And if so, would I add the pulp as well in a straining bag for body?
