America’s biggest berry empire doesn’t actually grow berries.

Driscoll’s is the middleman that controls the genetics, reaps the profits, and then shifts blame.

A whistleblower alleges the Canadian government repeatedly flagged their berries for exceeding pesticide limits.

Legend. Thank you. I do have some previous brewing experience but it was a long time ago. I might pit and boil and blend then more boil then strain if that sounds reasonable?

Think I've a hydrometer somewhere but honestly it could be a major hassle to dig it out.

Confident I'll give it a go though. Cheers!

Good luck! It should be fairly forgiving as the fruit adds a lot of nutrients compared to just honey. You can always add a bit of sugar/honey to sweeten it after its done, I usually do that several hours or a day before drinking as I don't stabilise it so if its left for a long time residual yeast could start fermenting again and build up pressure if left for too long.
