Welcome to the HD forums!

I've made a couple different flavors as well just to see how they come out. So far the reception has been rather well received! I'm surrounded by apple, pear, peach and cherry orchards so I'm patiently waiting for the weather to warm up to get these things growing! :lol:
While you're prepping, I suggest reading the links in my signature. So much important information can be found there.
What kind of rig are you running? What part of the world do you call home?

Enjoy and be safe!

Welcome to HD blackberry77 :wave:
I like blackberry liqueur, these threads are a good place to start in that department.

They work for pretty much any fruit. A lot of people use a grain base or grain based neutral for Panty dropper but I think it works better with a fruit base, even if it is a fruit based sugar head. I also prefer juicing my berries and adding juice rather than soaking the berries.

Now that you are an official member you can ask questions and join in conversations and have a whole lot of fun as well as learn a whole lot of things. Just make sure you ask those questions in the appropriate sections :) We would like to know where you live, naturally since you mention blackberries I think PNW since they grow like crazy here. :D
