I know most people call these ports but its really going to be a 5 gallons of high alcohol desert wine without an Everclear boost.
30 pounds of blackberry steam juiced
5 pounds of elderberries steam juiced
20 ounces of dried elderberries
Black Cherry Concentrate
Red Grape Concentrate for winemaking
1.5 lb extra light dried malt extract
OG of about 1.110
5 tsp Fermaid
K1V-116 Yeast
Toasted Oakmor in primary, staves in secondary
When the SG drops to 1.02 we will add concentrated black cherry juice (available from local hippie store, tree of life brand) and raise SG to 1.03, twice. The third time it drops we will add some red wine grape concentrate. After that if the yeast want to play some more maybe a hit of welches concord too.
