On older recipes it will say to "add ingredients to primary" then after a time "add ingredients to fermenter". Am I adding the ingredient to a crock to soak, then adding them to the 2 liter bottle with yeast to then ferment out?
It would be great if you guys had a step-by-step conversion video just to give us some kind of idea.
Yes, your rule of thumb is spot on.
EZ Caps are always a 1-step fermentation process. After the berry juice is cooked, sweetened, cooled, it should go directly into the 2 liter bottles, pitch the yeast, and then put on the EZ Cap and shake. I've always had great results using the 1-step EZ Cap process. I've had a lot of failed experiments using the buckets and pails.
