Blackberry Ale Recipe help

[BamaProud]

I have a gallon of fresh (unpasteurized) Blackberry Cider that I bought on an impulse buy.

Decided to make a Blackberry Ale for the wife. I did an Apple Ale in the Spring and she really enjoyed it. I'm a kit brewer wondering if the Specialty Grains and yeast etc...would be good simply by switching the Apple Extract/Apple Cider this Recipe Calls for with Blackberry Extract/Cider.

My Summary of the recipe:
Recipe Type: Extract
Yeast: Wyeast Cider 3766
Yeast Starter: None
Batch Size (Gallons): 5
Original Gravity: 1.060
Final Gravity: 1.014
IBU: 10
Steep Grains: 30 min
Boiling Time (Minutes): 60
Primary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): 7 days @66F
Secondary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): 7 days @66F

Amount of Item
Fermentables: 6 lbs Pilsen LME 1 pound Brown Sugar
Specialty Grains 1lb Honey Malt
½ oz Hallertau bittering hops. @(60 Minutes)
1 lb Brown Sugar @(10min)
½ oz Hallertau flavor hops @(5 min)
*1 gal Fresh Cider @1-3 days during active fermentation
4 oz. extract @ bottling

Thanks for your input.

If you want to highlight the cider, I'd drop the flavor hops. The acid from the blackberry would be overpowered. Make sure you chill wort completely before adding cider.

Cheers!

Cool Thanks. I was planning on adding the Cider a day or so after fermentation gets started well.
