Camden tabs and hedgerow wines

[PenhowBrewer]

Quick question....
I’m about to start off a blackberry wine next week having a amassed quite a few in the freezer now (And we have an Asda delivery next week so need some freezer space!)
I’m not sure how many I have yet, but it’s going to make more than one gallon. So, when you add Camden tablets to the pulp, is it ONE tablet per gallon ratio,or just one tablet for the whole lot, irrespective how how much pulp you have?

And on a more philosophical note, if my blackberries have been at -20C for a month or so, will there be any bugs surviving anyway? I’m not going to take the risk, but it’s an interesting point, isn’t it?

I do one per gallon as standard and leave it 24 hours before pitching yeast.

The standard recipe I've been using for around 40 years is - 3-4Lb of fruit per gallon, pour on boiling water, let it stand for a week (by which time it's fizzing away anyway) then strain, add sugar and a wine yeast. that's it. Had some jolly fine wines using this method. Favourites have been Sloe, Raspberry, and Elderberry.
