I used Costco apple juice and trader joes blackberry crush. This came out so good next time I'll double the recipe for a 5 gal batch.
2 gal apple juice
.5 gal blackberry juice
1lb honey
Nottingham yeast
Ferment out then back sweeten to your liking.
If bottling and back sweetening, store cold or pasteurize after conditioning accordingly.
I poured everything in except the last 1/3 of the apple juice. Added the honey, and shook for a couple mins to mix. I've also heated part of the juice up to better mix with the honey with success too.. was just lazy this time.
I've rehydrated notty in the past, this time I just pitched dry. Took off within 6 hours. I fermented for 14 days down to 1.003, then racked to a keg with one can of frozen apple juice concentrate. Force carbed for a day hence the pic of cloudy cider. I'm sure it will clear nicely in a couple days.
