Can anyone help me with figuring out what would be a good base grape wine for a strawberry/chocolate flavored wine? I tried a 1gal. grape concentrate kit and it did'nt turn out at all.I used all the same steps in making a kit wine and it tasted terrible after secondary fermentation was...

I purchased several Winexpert grape concentrateboxesfor a few dollars apiece.I am wondering if I reconstitute it to 1 gal. jugs, ie:20-22Brix,do I treat it just like kit juice(yeast,fining,meta and sorbate)? I'd like to experiment with different flavorings. Any help would be appriciated, thanks.

Thanks for the quick replies- I was just hoping too help it reach a full ferment(I only added 3 tsp to 6 gal). As for the future I'll only add it if it seems stuck. I'm relieved to know that I probably did'nt hurt anything. Check out our wedsite:fatladiesonthebeachwinery.shutterfly.com Thanks...

My question is: is it OK to add yeast nutrient to a kit 24 hrs after you've pitched yeast.I didand hada huge drop in the SG 1.070(initial SG-1.082)after 24 hrs to 1.025 at 48 hrs.It seems OK and is still making lots of bubbles and fizzing.
