Blackberry Port started

[Casper]

Just start my blackberry Port, here the recipe:


for 11.5 Liter


- 32 # Blackberries
- 4 # Raspberries
- 4 Bananas
- 2 ½ Campden Tablet
- 1 ½ tps Pectic Enzyme
- 3 tps Yeast Nutrient
- Adjust Acidto .70
- Yeast K1-V1116
No water add, will bring the ABV to 18 % if possibleand will fortify with brandy to 19 %. For sweetness my goal is between 1.018 to 1.020.




I still had 33 # left of blackberry so I just made a 5 gallon blackberry wine

Blackberry Port

The ABV is at 15 and still rising, I added 4 # of sugar so far, tasted it yyesterday and it is very good, the raspberries blended very well with the Blackberries. I think I got the right ratio too much raspberry would overpower the blackberries. Too bad I have to wait a year to drink it. <?amespace prefix = o ns = "urnchemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" />
