Rick,
I mixed strawberry, dandelion, pumpkin, and blackberry - I had a lot of
leftover top-up. It'll be interesting and I'll let you know.
Unfortunately, it is still bulk aging. I also did try a gallon combo of
rhubarb, strawberry, and blueberry, but that to is bulk-aging right now.
Both are too young to drink. Let me know how yours turns out. Happy
holidays!
