You can buy a 4 pound bag of frozen blueberries... I blend them and throw them right into my 5 gallon batch of sp and holy s*** is it good I have friends that fight over it!
Don't mess with the apfelwein all you will do is mess it up... Talking from experience here don't "F" with it I have a batch that was going fine and started tasting really good so I "treated" it and back sweetened it with some apple juice concentrate and was letting it bulk age stuff took off...
If you use both like it calls for it keeps the bad smells at bay! Energizer is like giving the yeast a double shot from starbucks really wakes them up and gets them going. I had a batch of skeeter pee go to. 998 in three days!
OMG! skeeter pee rocks! I now have a lemon lime going and a batch of strawberry lemon made from the orig. Recipe only I added 4 pounds of fresh strawberries! I can't wait! :tank:
