6 lbs of 4 different berries (strawberry, blackberry, blueberry and raspberry)
1 pound bags were $3.23 at Walmart.
In the pail I added the mesh bag with slightly frozen fruit. I poured the slightly cooled inverted sugar over the bag of berries and that thawed the rest of the berries. 7lbs of sugar, 8 cups of water, and 1/3 cup of lemon juice, inverted.
I squished up the fruit in the bag with my sterilized hands.
Added 2 32-oz bottles of real lemon
3 tsp of yeast nutrient
1 tsp of yeast energizer
3/4 teaspoon of tanin
Filled pail to 6 gallon mark with water. I had to add about a quart of inverted sugar to get the SG to 1.070.
It smells WONDERFUL, like a bowl of jello!
The photo is of just the berries and the inverted sugar in the pail.
