Hi everyone, I am trying to make a beer from Charlie Papazian's "The Complete Joy of Homebrewing", and the recipe calls for 10 lbs of sour cherries. I can not find sour cherries in my area (eastern Virginia), and while I know that fresh fruit would be better, does anyone have an idea of how much cherry concentrate that would equate to? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
 
A pint of the tart cherry concentrate I can get locally is equvilant to about 11lbs of whole cherries.
 
Go to Kroger and use their brand of canned "Tart Cherries". Cheap and they work pretty good.
