Long time Brewer, first time vintner. Actually it's my wife who wants to make this after we loaded up on u-pickem blueberries, but I'm helping her with finding a recipe and this one was modified from what I found online. It's here: https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1jV-2Xe5lrdrBL0-6S6Fms08wIWGr6A4Qf2FvF0_HU2U
She is using my 2.5 gallon better bottle so we're not going to use nylon since I don't think we'd be able to get the blueberries back out, but we can strain it later. It says to get a hydrometer reading every day until it hits .99, but that seems like a lot of work sanitizing and cleaning my thief and meter everyday so can I just wait a week or so and see how it's doing?
Any other tips for a beginner?
