So much like my blueberry cider question, how many blackberries would you guys use for a 12L batch? I picked about 1.3kg/2 1/2lbs of lovely fresh blackberries and I'm gonna make the cider tomorrow.

Adding them to apple juice.Adding blackberries to apple juice? Or just berries and water?
Adding them to apple juice.
Unfortunately I've no room in my freezer just now. Ended up boiling them like I would a jam to deal with any critters and get the juices out. Then I made 4 individual pies and put the rest in the cider. Will have to see how it comes along.Id freeze the blackberries, make about 2 gallons of cider, when its done fermenting, rack the cider on to the blackberries.
If you want to experiment, divide the cider, and rack 1 gallon on to half of your berries; stabilize the other gallon and rack that on to the rest of your fruit.
