Very nice looking bucket of blackberries! Did they come off wild brambles or do you grow them? Sweet corn wine sounds good. I came close to making a run of it but ate all the corn. I got a five gallon batch of blackberry in the secondary tha I am going to rack off the fruit sediments next weekend. It started at 1102 so it is pretty close to yours. Mike
 
Thanks walking deer,no these are tame black berries my brother in law let me pick,there must have been aleast 6 five gal buckets on the vines ,but I just picked 1 bucket.Wine has a great flavor so far.Getting ready to rack to secondary tomorrow.Let me know how yours turnes out.
 
Looks like fun, I have been picking about 10 pounds every other night off of my bushes, hope to start some wine and maybe a port soon. Funny you mention sweet corn, I have some extra and was thinking of doing the same thing. Do you have a recipe for what did with the corn?
