My son is wanting to try a Blackberry, Blueberry and Elderberry mix.
Can anyone suggest a good yeast for this combination?
I am guessing that one packet per 5 gallons of must would be OK.
If that's not correct, please advise as to how much to use.

As always, Thanks for the help.

I've only used Lalvin yeasts up to now. The 71B 1122 is good for fruit wines but I've used KV-1116 for my blackberry and it turned out excellent. I've heard the Red Star Cotes de Blanc is good for fruit based wines too. I don't know what you have access to but those would be my choices. A packet of yeast is good for up to 6 gallons of wine.
