My buddy and I picked 20 lbs of berries the other day and to our surprise we found six plum tree with fall off the tree ripe plums on them, we got like twenty or thirty pounds of plums in an hour, I'm going to do a five gallon plum wine a five gallon blackberry and a five gallon plum cider. We are going back for more very soon before the bears get em.

I would separate out the blackberries with red in them, you will make better wine if you use fully ripened berries IMO. YMMV.

I know about the effort that goes into it, I just picked 20 lbs last Sunday, and need to get around 20 more this weekend, but trust me you will be rewarded with a better wine using ripe fruit.
