Fruity Fermentables?
My winter warmer uses fresh blackberries and allspice. Do the boiled blackberries add fermentables?

caution on the boil
The blackberies will have fermentables in them, If you want to make this recipe becarful how long you boil any fruit. I'm not dure how much pectin is in blackberries, but boiling them will bring out whatever it has. You may want to opt for the blackberry puree for winemaking Oregon is one brand. These are already sterilized, so you wouldn't have to boil as long.

pectin? What's this going to do?
I already did the deed, so what should I expect? Last year I used canned blackberries, and this year I used "fresh" ones from the Produce Department of my local grocery store.
It would only be fitting if this beer ends up skunky. After all, it was suppose to be served at the victory party of NC State's Jan. 1st bowl game. Of course, we ended up in the Dec 22'nd 2000 Flushes bowl after a horrible game against the Terps. What a crappy year!

No worries.
Pectin makes your beverage cloudy. It just won't clarify... no matter what; but it should not affect the flavor.
