OH Yeah,
So I modified the Dragon Blood Recipe, for a 3 1/2 gallon batch. I am calling mine TRU BLOOD!!!!!!!!
I am using 8 lbs of fruit all frozen and then thawed, (Dark Cherries 24 oz, 3 lb of Triple Blend, 1 lb of Strawberries, 1 lb raspberries. 4 ripe Bananas. The Dark Sweet Cherries make it Blood Red!
Step 1: To a cleaned and sanitized 5 gallon primary, add---in this order:
(24 oz of 100% Lemon Juice (ReaLemon in the green bottle):
Water to about 3 1/2 gallons
9 lbs of white granulated sugar (SG achieved 1.085 after filling to 3 1/2 gallons
1 tsp. tannin (stir) Used 3 Tea bags in about 2 cups of water
3 tsp. yeast nutrient (stir)
1 tsp. yeast energizer (stir)
3 tsp. pectic enzyme (stir) for One hour with fruit before pitched yeast.
Top water to 3 (1/2) gallons* and stir well
Test SG (looking for a SG around 1.085)
2 lbs. of Triple Berry Blend (raspberry/blackberry/blueberry)
Dark Cherries 24 oz, 1 lb of Strawberries, 1 lb raspberries. 4 ripe Bananas.
I am hold back 1 lb of the Triple Berry Blend to add it once the S.G. get to 1.020.
