Bottled mine yesterday, three days after doing the fruit step. The raspberry started bubbling over night and was totally ready yesterday morning. I waited until last night to bottle the blueberry because it wasn't bubbling at all but I needed to do it then anyway because I'm headed out of town for a harvest party at my parent's tonight and didn't want to leave it sitting. So I bottled it and it's bubbling now, I wonder if the berries were keeping it from bubbling in the gallon jar?
Looking forward to trying this out at the party tonight...let's hope it's not alcoholic ;)

They turned out great! I especially liked the raspberry beacuse it was a little more tart than the blueberry. I'd recomend bottling them in canning jars to lessen the over flow when opening the bottles. I bottled mine in both and had a much worse time with the narrower, longer necked bottles.

Wanted to see how everyone did with this? How long will the bottle last or is it something that must be drunk within a month or so?

Ok, we had to try it. We have just finished the first week (cultivating the starter)... Tonight we mixed it with concord grape, mixed berry (strawberry raspberry blackberry), and apple cider. Give us a few more days and we'll give the final results!

FINAL RESULTS: Well, the grape was very sweet and good, but no fizz. The berry was good, not too sweet, and definitely fizzy. The apple cider just tastes like sweetened, gingered apple cider. Next time, I think I am going to double the amount of starter we add, just to give things a boost.

I've got one in the fridge that's been there for almost two months...if anything I think it will be a little alcoholic and maybe will make more of a mess when it's opened...hopefully anyway...lol
