An early trip to the Little Rock River Marketthis morningresulted in the coup of enough blackberries to get my batch of "Black Widow Blackberry"started today.
My recipe for this 5 gallonbatch is as follows:
34 lbs. Blackberries ( Steamed, which netted me 2-1/4 Gallon Juice)
12 lbs. Sugar ( Dissolved in boiling water & currently cooling)
1Tbsp. Acid Blend ( May add more before I pitch yeast)
1Tsp Tannin
5 Campden Tablets, Crushed, Dissolved in Magic Bullet Blender
2TBSP Yeast Nutrient
1TBSP Yeast Energizer
5/8 TSP Pectic Enzyme ( Liquid)
Yeast - Yet to be determined which one I will use.
My target SG on this batch is going to be 1.090 - 1.096
Here is the label I will be using on this one. Will be posting more pictures later this evening or in the morning. Right now I am waiting on my sugar water to cool down so I add to must. I have already added my Campden tabs, Acid Blend & Tannin.
Stay tuned ..More pictures and hopefully even a short video of the steamer in action.
