hey guys and gals i want to start another pure juice blackberry. this time im going to use the juice concentrate from homewinery.com. i talked to the guy there on the phone and he said they come in 64 ounce container and that they are 68 brix.i asked him what strength they are and he said they were 3 parts water and 1 part concentrate to make single strength blackberry juice.Something doesnt sound right to me. that would give it a brix of 17 for 2gallons of liquid.I then asked him how much i need to make six gallons of full strenth blackberry wine and he said i would need one half gallon container and i pint. and i said if i add 3 parts water that would ony give me a little over two gallons and he said i wasnt accounting for all of the sugar i needed to add wtf? anyway i ordered 4 64 ounce containers so i will have 2 gallons of concentrate. i have looked all over the web and it seems to me that single strength blackberry would be around 10-13 brix so should i just keep adding water until i get to between 10 and 13 brix and then adjust to 1085ish with sugar if i want to make a pure juice wine?
