Ok, had a bottle of this with the Sunday roast and decided it's good enough to share the recipe.
NB It was bottled in March 2012, pretty much 21 months ago. It was always OK but that time has really brought it on.
1238g raspberries, 443g blackberries, 344g blackcurrants.
Thawed into large SS pan with Campden, 1lb sugar, 1l boiled water, pectolase.
Mashed gently when thawed. Transferred to fermenting bucket.
After 2 days pitched rehydrated Gervin GV2; tsp nutrient.
After 3 more days, strained onto 1.5lb sugar in demi
Racked after 6 weeks.
About 8 days later, bottled with sulphite.
Taste good, slight rawness.
Soon improved to very pleasant.
After 21 months in bottle, very good.
