I have a kegging setup and wanted to make something like this so I could bottle with a blichmann gun.

you said 12 oz of cranberry raspberry concentrate. Did you mean those small frozen cans?

Looking at the lbs im guessing this is around 10% ABV?
So you let me ferment dry. Then add Potassium metabisulphite? then add the frozen concentrate?

what does this taste like? dry? semi sweet? is the cran-rasp strong or kinda mellowed out?

I'd add the potassium metabisulphite a day or so before adding the concentrate. I bottle-condition, so that's not normal for my procedure.

The Cran-raspberry flavor is noticable, but quite subdued. It helps reduce the alcohol flavor of the plain version.

You know, I had a bit of a hard time getting a gravity reading from this particular recipe. The turbinado sugar needs to be shaken up REALLY F*CKING HARD to keep it in suspension, otherwise it'll simply sink to the bottom, which doesn't help in getting a gravity reading.

Getting this ready for St. Patricks should be doable, but it'll still be really green. Maybe adding in 2 packets of Notty will help get all the sugar nom-nommed into booze in time.

I dissolved the sugar in 2 gal of warm apple juice to prevent settling. So I think my SGs are ok... I'll grab some notty this week and toss em in. Got sg of 1.011 a few days ago so we are close. Og was 1.086
