FYI Costco Pretzel containers make for ideal 1 gallon fermenters.

As long as you aren't adding too many other ingredients, the Kirkland Peanut Butter Pretzel containers work great for 1 gallon fermenters.

The rim actually has a couple divets that prevent an airtight seal, allowing gas to escape. Just make sure to clean and sanitize before use!

8+kg of Saskatoon Berries

Just shy of 18lbs of wild Saskatoon berries (personally picked) in my brand new fermenter. They are currently frozen, but I have doused them with pectic enzyme and am going to build my must and pitch my yeast tomorrow. Planning on adding 6kg of wildflower honey and water to 5 gallons. Will be a staggered nutrient schedule with Fermaid O.

Of my available yeasts I am deciding between 71B and D47. Anyone have any critiques/thoughts?
