Adding raspberry puree

HBT0701 · 11-21-2011, 07:30 PM

I have 8 gallons of cider that has been in the primary for 2 weeks now. It is separated evenly between 2 5gals. I have 3lbs of seedless raspberry puree from my lhbs that I am thinking of adding to only one of the batches.

Is 3lbs too much for 4 gallons of cider? Also, should I do it now or after I move it to a secondary? Any thoughts?

OG was 1.07 and its pretty much done fermenting now.

Thanks

i'd say 3 lbs is perfect size. add it to the secondary.

Agreed. I use those cans for a 5 gallon batch.

It'll likely restart fermentation with that new sugar, so give it some headspace...
