I am making Muscadine Wine and I only have 15lbs. Do I need 18lbs for a three gallon batch. Can I add grape juice to make up the difference and how much should I add?

If anyone would like to share a 3 gallon recipe I would love the help. I only have the wild grape recipe from a book I have from my one gallon kit.

Thanks
Bill
 
Are you making a white or red? If it is a white you can add some Welch's white grape concentrate. If red, then the red grape concentrate from Walmart. Then you are good to go and you will not taste the difference. Check out my video I posted on here about my white muscadine wine. This is exactly what happened to me.
 
are these wild muscadines or are they the hybrid variety that vineyards use??? also how much must is the 15 pounds gonna make on their own? If they're the wild variety and the 15 lbs makes say 1 1/2 gallon of must you can add the same amount of water and still be fine. Use the water to make your simple syrup also

I have a friend who uses 23 pounds to make 5 gallons, so 15 for 3 gallons should be ok. And I'm also asking how's it going?

Sorry, I hate to tell you this but this but the thread is like two years old
