Hi Everybody,
I've got some leftover fruit in my freezer, not enough individually to make a batch, but enough as a whole to hopefully make a gallon. Does anyone have any experience mixing these fruits together for winemaking? From what I've read, elderberry needs diluting with water (3-4 lbs/gallon), while with juneberry you should try to get close to pure juice if possible (8-10 lbs/gallon). Not sure with blueberries. Anyway I've got:
3.5 lbs of juneberries
1 lb of blueberries
500 ml of elderberry syrup (undiluted)
Any advice on what I'll need for sugar, acid, etc.? And if I'm too far over/under for a one gallon batch of wine?
