Alright folks,
This year will be my first year making home brew, my apple trees and coming along nicely, so want to make sure I understand everything and notice any issues I may come across, any help and guidance would be welcomed.
Apples trees are producing cooking apples
We also have blackberries growing nearby, so I would like to try and bring these into the mix for my 2nd batch ?
Now, with a DIY kit you add the mixture, sugar followed by water, mix it up and ferment away, I know this won't be the case and I wan't to make sure for my first home brew it will be a good one.
The home-brew will be barrelled, a few litres will be bottled.
Any help and knowledge is greatly appreciated.
Thank you
J

- Do i need to add water ?
- How do i know what amount of sugar I need to add ?
