Looks great! What's the makeup & yeast profile?
100% Tart Cherry juice concentrate from brownwoodacres.com - post fermentation. 1 - 1.5oz per gal...depending on how cherry I want it [emoji111]Did you use cherry fruit, juice or concentrate? In primary or after finished?
Sounds tasty! Dig ur labels too [emoji111]View attachment 599098View attachment 599099
I used 100% Apple Cider from store, light brown sugar, Karo light corn syrup, enzyme and nutrents, with wlp775 yeast. OG 1.080, FG 1.002. In secondary added bunch cinnamon sticks. Bottled 106 oz hard cider, 12 oz frozen apple juice concentrate, and 10 oz Jack Daniel's Tennesse Fire.
Fermenting and bottled dates were backwards on that lable, I have made that again and even with a fast fermentation almost every one that has tried it loves it.Sounds tasty! Dig ur labels too [emoji111]
Looking to score some all natural hot cinnamon flavoring to add for [emoji91]
I need to try this. You fermented your cider first down to 1.004 then added the blackberries, did you stabilize first before adding or did you go for carbonated cider?FAJC - SO4 Yeast 1.060 OG to 1.004 FG with 4 pounds of Blackberries in secondary (5 Gallon batch) clarified via cold crash and KC Super Kleer. Three weeks Pitch to keg and pretty darned good after a week in the keg. Will only get better in a few months. (Assuming it lasts that long.)
Kegging day - on the left sweetened with 1 gal. freeze concentrated. In the middle Saison sweetened with 1/2 gal. freeze concentrated. On the right unsweetened transferred to a bourbon barrel.

What kinda corker ya got?I like the tall ‘n skinnys! I usually bottle still what doesn’t fit in the corny.
A test glass of blended, then strained ..... tastes great! But I like a clearer cider.
Sure looks yummy. When did you start it?
I used the 2 part Super Kleer after stabilizing, worked like a champ! I’m very happy with this can’t wait to get more. Might try carbing it next time, but it’s nice still too.I'm new to this but from my experience you'll just have to let it set and then transfer again. I think if you add some bentonite when you start the fermentation process that'll help too.
Cuz of the trees....it melts from North to south [emoji12] Finally getting rid of the white stuff with a few day warm up & rain. Prefer sipping my ciders outside in the warm sunshine [emoji111]Does that side of your yard always have snow on it? And the cider looks good.
Lol....had a pint glass in Nov [emoji111]Cool. I just wondered because its the exact same pattern as your pic in November.
