Directions

1. Step 1: Macerate frozen blackberries in a large gallon pot with a top by defrosting them and letting them reach room temperature - you can also add a half pound of sugar (subtract 1/2 lb from honey used) to aid the maceration of the frozen blackberries.
   This additional sugar can help to draw out additional flavor - after macerating for 24hrs, the frozen berries will have macerated with that little bit of sugar to make a dark red syrupy liquid which will make a delicious blackberry mead after fermentation!
2. Step 2: Add Water, Lemon Juice & Honey on Medium-Low Heat To Make Saucy Liquid.
   Turn on heat to medium-low under pot where the blackberries are macerating and add the lemon juice, water and honey.
   It helps to drop the honey container in a warm water bath to make the honey more liquid and buying 1lb or 2-4 lb containers and using a whole or half a container makes measuring the weight of honey used easy!.
   Stir occasionally until fruit breaks down into a saucy liquid.
3. Step 3:Strain Saucy Liquid Into Fermentation Container.
   Put a funnel on top of a gallon container and lay metal strainer on top.
   Pour saucy liquid from your pot onto the strainer and funnel to transfer the liquid into the gallon fermentation container.
   You can use the leftover blackberries in the strainer to make blackberry preserves.
   The recipe is simple, weigh the remaining blackberries, add to the pot you just used and add 50-75% of the weight in fruit of sugar.
   Heat on medium-low for 45 mins and can in sanitized preserves container.
4. Step 4: Add Brewsy Bag To Fermentation Container & Shake
5. Step 5: Apply Airlock To Fermentation Container And Place In Dark Warm Place
   In order for the brewsy bag to completely ferment your your blackberry wine in 7 days you'll need the container to stay in a dark place that's 65-75；, like the top of a closet.
   If it's on the colder side, the fermentation will take longer, somewhere around 10-15 days.
   Swirl your fermentation container every other day and check an hour later, when it stops bubbling, the fermentation is complete.
