WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

Notes

1/2/22-(2nd time I have made this, taking more careful notes this time) 5G of apple cider into fermenter at 1.040, with Premier Cuvee yeast. It took a couple days to wake up, as I have it set for 60F, the bottom of the comfortable fermentation range. Fermented until 1/6/22 and added the blackberry puree. Moved to Red Wine Barrel on 1/13/22, checked FG and flavor. May want to back sweeten as the blackberry is more aroma than flavor. Still good though, and still needs full carbonation. 3/13/22-Moved to keg for carbonation.
