I just scored 2.5lb packs of frozen organic blackberries from Costco for
real cheap(just over $6 each). I figured each would make a gallon. I
think I will thaw them, add enough water to make one gallon to each 2.5lbs
of berries. balance acid to .6 TA and sugar to a SG of 1.08~1.09. Ferment
with pulp for a few days then strain and finish fermentation. Slightly
sweeten if necessary at bottling.

Any recommendations for a yeast?

I would like comments on my strategy. I have done this before and like the
results, but am always looking for improvements.

We picked 22lbs of blackberries yesterday and thought we'd have a go at
making some wine. Anyone got any blackberry wine recipes?

Thanks in advance.

Never had to buy blackberries. There are loads of them here in England just
growing everywhere they can. Where we take the dog is a bit of an open
space/nature reserve and the paths have bramble bushes along side them. Its
such a shame to see so many wasted each year. I'll have to get the other
frezzer plugged in somewhere so I can freeze some.
