Hi there. I'm making a blackberry stout, with the blackberries to be added to the secondary fermentation vessel. My estimated OG is 1.082, and estimated FG is 1.021.
My question is, when I rack to secondary, leaving behind the yeast cake, will there be enough yeast left in that 1.021 solution to consume the sugar in 4-5lbs of Blackberries, or will I need to re-pitch a small amount of yeast? 1lb of Blackberries is estimated to add .007 gravity to a solution.
I appreciate any feedback or ideas! Thank you.
