Primary: Follow directions for hydrating yeast with GO-Ferm PE. Mix honey and water to desired SG (1.090). Pitch yeast when temperature reaches target, within 10°F (6°C) of must. Fermaid-O was divided into 3 doses at 24, 48, and 72 hours. Skip last dose if 1/3 sugar break has been reached. Aerate must before adding nutrients.
Secondary: Rack to secondary carboy on top of potassium metabisulfate and potassium sorbate. After 48 hours rack to large vessel, add frozen cherries, and pectic enzyme. After 3 weeks, rack to aging vessel. SG after removing fruit was 1.013. Back-sweeten to 1.025.
