Dissolve Kit and DME with 1 gal boiling water in fermenter. Top up to 5 gallons with warm/cool water to bring temp down. Pitch Yeast. Seal fermenter and place in warm dark area to ferment. AFTER PRIMARY FERMENTATION HAS SLOWED add Cherry Puree, reseal fermenter and allow to continue fermenting.

Added cherry puree when fermentation had slowed to 6 bubbles/minute in the airlock. Still overflowed. Not badly, just onto the lid of the fermenter ... still a pain in the ass to clean. Think I added it a few hours too early.

Added about 3/4ths cup of bottling sugar and bottled it. Taste is ... I'm not really sure. It could kinda go either way after carbonation.
