I have made 3 different batches of blackberry wine so far. So far none of them have been very flavourful.. My first batch i used 4 lbs blackberries to 1 gallon of water and sugar added to 12 percent alc and used Montrachet yeast. Second batch I decided to use 6 lbs of blackberries to 7 pints of water and sugar added to 11 percent alc with 71B yeast. Third batch I used 6 lbs of blackberries to 7 pints of water with sugar added to 11 percent with rc212 yeast. The batch with rc212 yeast had an off flavor that wasnt very appealing. So far nobody has wowed over my blackberry wines. They just lack flavor i think. Anybody have any ideas to get the wow factor??? The first batch i sweetened to 1.005 and the other two batches i sweetened to 1.020 because people were telling me the 1.005 wasn't sweet enough. People are telling me that 1.020 is sweet enough, just not flavourful enough..???? I am kind of dumbfounded since I hear that one can't make a bad batch of blackberry...hmmmmm
