I am surprised at all the different descriptions on how to do this.
I went for the following recipe, and the blackberrys have been in the bin since saturday. Do I close the lid on the bin or fit it loosely ?
Some say stir daily for ten days, others say five. Am surprsed the sugar is five days after.
Do these instructions seem ok ? Anyway, this is the recipe.........
Blackberry Wine (dry)
3 lbs blackberries
1/2 pint red grape juice
2 1/4 lb sugar
1/2 tsp nutrient
1 tsp pectolase
Pommard yeast
Water to 1 gallon
Wash and drain and crush berries.
Pour on 6 pints boling water.
When cool add pectolase, grape juice, nutrient and yeast.
Ferment for 5 days on pulp then strain and press, stir in sugar, top up with water and continue fermentation.
