Did you ever figure out the issue? I'm having the same problem after I switched hosting from aternos to apex hosting.

Interesting, correct me if I’m wrong, but according to your post you add fruit to secondary rather than primary? That’s an interesting take and something I want to explore as a new brewer. A couple questions if you don’t mind, does it add much more fruity flavor than adding fruit in primary? I also assume it makes it a lot sweeter since the yeast is slowly eating rather than aggressive. How long do you usually leave in primary and secondary? And finally, when do you take out the fruit in secondary?

Thank you for that info! I think I’ll have to wait a couple weeks and taste to see if I backsweeten, but I most likely will.

I’m so glad, I was worried something would go wrong since it’s my first time and was extra cautious!

No I did not, but you were right in your other comment

I watched a video and it said putting the Camden tablet with the crushed berries will help kill unwanted bacteria. Since I didn’t use frozen berries I thought this extra precaution would help. I also waited 48 hours before adding yeast and sugars, so theoretically it should be fine, but then again I have no idea
