WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

Notes

Cane sugar is included to represent the sugars of 64oz blueberry juice plus 48oz pomegranate juice, converting their natural sugar from grams to pounds.

Yeast used: Lalvin 71B, 25g (5 standard packets)

The fruit is listed under "Steeping Grains" but is actually added directly to the fermenter along with the juice.
