I had planned two nutrient additions, one when pitching yeast and one at 1/3 sugar depletion. Would you do more than that? If so, would you suggest a similar total amount of nutrients spread over more additions, or more additions resulting in more total nutrients?

Thanks for all the feedback. It sounds like I definitely don't need nearly as many cranberries as I planned on. I guess I paid lots of attention to the threads encouraging people not to skimp on the fruit, and then went out of my way to find the exception. From all the discussion, my revised...
