After making the previous 4 gallons of blackberry wine, we had a lot of pulp in the buckets. We also had another 1lb of blackberries in the freezer. So we put the whole lot into the 15 litres bucket to make another 2 gallons of blackberry wine.

| Blackberry Wine 2 |
Strain through sieve into cleaned, sterilised demijohns
Fit bung and airlock to demijohn
Leave to ferment for a few weeks (maybe 6)
Result so far ....
Looks like it worked quite well. Putting the liquid in the bucket first meant we got a full 2 gallons in the demijohns and no need to top up with water. There was loads of pulp, all squeezed out to get as much juice as possible.
