lol
so ive decided to make some use of all the berries ive picked
didnt weigh them so i coudlnt tell you exactly how many but i ended up with almost a gallon of juice
so i mashed em up real good with my hands(the potatoe masher wasnt doing the job i liked) heated them on the stove to a slow boil then let them sit and cool
so its time to strain the pulp into my primary so i did this into some cheese cloth and saved the pulp to soak in the must over night
let it sit a while then went to the store to pick up some sugar and apple juice to add to it(trust me it tastes awesome right now)
i get back fro mthe store and it had been sitting still no stirring in it for about an hour so youd think it wouldnt have any bubbles in it
i took the top off to look and its bubbling already on its own with no yeast in it YAY
so am i right thinking this is a good sign and wont have much trouble fermenting?
heres a picture i snapped of it for some reason i had left the spoon laying in there
