I have promised my future father-in-law that I would brew a port for him. I had planned to amke a blackberry prot using the Jack Keller recipe but as it requires 4KG of blackberries and they are slightly thin on the ground I am have a change of plans. From searching the forum I came across GA port recipe and have based mine on that.
The plan is:
3lbs Elderberries
3lbs Blackberries
1/2lb rasins (chopped)
1lb sugar
nurtient
port yeast.
The idea was to ferment on the pulp for a week the strain and step feed to try and get to 18%ish then to fortify with some brandy to get to 22-20%.
Does this seem reasonable? Will the fruit give it enough body or should I use more fruit?
