By my count, we have two batches of strawberry, one raspberry and one blueberry all at more or less the same stage. This should be interesting reading for a while.

I'd definitely recommend racking to another 6.5 instead of a 5 gallon carboy if anyone else tries the same style and doesn't want to simply add the fruit to the primary.
Truble said:what temp is your tertiary at? I am thinking of going cold with mine to help in getting the cloudies to fall out, then bring it back up to room temp when I bottle.
why'd you do this?SteveM said:adding a half cup of corn sugar in the tertiary over the weekend

ok, that's kinda what i figured, but then i got to thinking that there might've been a real reason that i never heard of...SteveM said:No compelling reason - basically because I had a little extra in a little bag and I figured it would give a slight boost to the alcohol content. Call it a whim.
