Here's what I started with:
18lbs of crushed blackberries.
4lbs honey
8lbs cane sugar.
14quarts of water.
Starting SG was 1.095.
I slightly modified a recipe I found online, which is why I added water. Anywho, I'm concerned about having enough berry flavor in the finished product, so I was thinking of crushing up and straining a few pounds of berries to make syrup and add it in for flavor.
The questions:
Can I do it, and is it a good idea?
When should I add it?
Should I add a Campden tablet to the syrup? Pectic enzyme?
