The picture above is the current state of my cider. I figure to give it another couple of days before I bottle it.
When you look at the goop on the bottom, that is a mixture of blackberry crud and yeast poop (and dormant yeast spores) that remain after the good juices have been used up.
I am thinking of going to pick up a three more cartons of apple juice. ( from a commercial restaurant store and each carton yields a gallon of juice)
What I am thinking is that after I bottle the cider, I will add the three (3) cartons of juice to the crud (formally referred to by the cognoscenti as "lees") top the fermentor with water and use the yeast that is there to ferment the juice added.
Might be an abject failure, but might yield a cider with a little more color and just smidge of blackberry flavor.
Just thinking
