[QUOTE="BamaProud, post: 4637447, member: 9871"] I used Jack Keller's recipes (scaled up to 5-gallons): 22 pounds of Blackberries grown in my backyard. I bought 10 pounds of locally grown blueberries. [b][size=5]BLACKBERRY WINE[/size] [/b](2) [Medium Bodied Dry] 4 lb blackberries 2-1/4 lb granulated sugar 1/2 tsp pectic enzyme 1/2 tsp acid blend crushed Campden tablet 7 pts water wine yeast (I used Lalvin RC212) and nutrient Pick fully ripe, best quality berries. Wash thoroughly and place in nylon jelly-bag. Mash and squeeze out all juice into primary fermentation vessel. Tie jelly-bag and place in primary fermentation vessel with all ingredients except yeast. Stir well to dissolve sugar, cover well, and set aside for 24 hours. Add yeast, cover, and set aside 5 days, stirring daily. Strain juice from jelly-bag and siphon off sediments into secondary fermentation vessel of dark glass (or wrap clear glass with brown paper), filling only to the upper shoulder of the secodary, and fit airlock. Leftover must should be placed in a 750-ml wine bottle with airlock (a #2 bung fits most wine bottles) and used for topping up. Top up when all danger of foaming over is past.
