I finally started my cider today and so far it sounds good,this is what i put in it.
5 Gallons Publix cider
5lbs Sugar
White Labs Liquid English Cider Yeast
5 bags Publix Frozen Blackberries(i thawed and added the juice also)
Pectic Enzyme
I mixed the cider,sugar,pectic enzyme and blackberries last night and pitched the yeast at 2 this afternoon,there aren't any bubbles in the airlock yet but you can hear some good gurgling going on in the bucket. I took a OG reading before pitching the yeast and got 1.064,i did that 3x just to be sure and got the same reading each time so i guess it's right. I guess now it's just sit back and let it bubble away for awhile,i will update this as it progresses incase anyone is interested in the outcome(good or bad). I plan on letting this go to secondary after awhile and sitting until it's fermented out and then bottling it with carb tabs,pasteurizing then storing it to age. If anyone sees anything wrong with this by all means let me know,i'm new so i could have something wrong.
