Using the recipe in the previous post:
We are starting with 4 kilos of berries (which we weighed after we had stripped them from the stalks with a fork.)
In the 60 litre barrel, we add 5 pints of boiling water; and
Stir in 2.5 kilos of sugar.
When it cools, we will add one 5g packet of winemakers yeast, but no citric acid at this stage.
We will cover the barrel top with a cloth to allow the air in and keep the flies out.
On Tuesday 14th at the latest (presuming we don't collect more fruit to complicate the process), we will have to move to stage 2.
Does it work?
