I have a 6 gallon batch of Cyser going and want to rack off 2 of the gallons into 1 gallon jugs when primary is done and add some berries.
I will have 2, 1 gallon jugs and a 5 gallon carboy for secondaries.
Considering any fruit will displace part of the gallon of cyser, what would be a good amount of either blueberries or raspberries to add for a 1 gallon batch?
How long can you leave the cyser on the berries?
Do you add the berries whole or mash/blend?
Will there be any concerns with 1 gallon of headspace in my carboy for the other 4 gallons? (not sure if oxygen is as much of a concern with ciders as it is with beer).
