I pressed out my blackberries and discarded the skins....
Should I still opt to use pectic enzyme?
If so, pre or post fermenttion?
(I wanted to keep & ferment on the skins but the freezer was full and the berries were ripe... but the pectic and other supplies had not arrived yet, so I tried to buy time (and space) by gentle processing... now the supplies are here but the remaining unpicked berries are not healthy and plump & all I have left to work with is the previously pressed juice. Of course, there is a layer of (insert correct term here so I will know what to call it) on the bottom in ea. of the bottles.)
