    Blackberry Wine, All Juice, Steam Extractionb

    I am about to start a batch of blackberry wine using all juice from a steam juice extractor. Links to a recipe would be appreciated. From what I've read I'll be getting a pH reading and may have to adjust. Probably shoot for a SG of 1.090. After fermentation dies down should I plan on...
