Never shop for juice when you're juiced.
I bought 12 cans of Hawaiis Own Pinapple/Mango. Frozen concentrate.(4/$5)
When I read the grcery store flyer, I thought it said DOLE( I KNOW!!!!!!!) LOL
So I just dumped all the cans in there, added the amount of water to bring it up to 3.75 gallons, added the sugar to SG 1.200. (thats where I wanted it)
Only trouble is, I have only used this concentrat a couple times, a bit of a while ago., mostly for flavor, never by itself.
So I decided to see what else they added, thats when I noticed it saod, ("contains 10% juice!!!!!!")
It is a very good quality concentrate, their flavors are excellent, but what am I to expect with 4 gallons of wine made ith 10% juice?
There are no preservatives listed in the ingredients.
The little star on the front says (100% vitamin C), not juice. The dole brand has a similar star, it says (100% juice), thas the only reson, yeah, right, for my mistake, but its all mixed up now, gonna give it a chance.
Gonna use a K1V116 starter.
I this worth caring for, or should I just ferment it out, allow it to clear, and then just smoke it, or just drink it.
There are many frozen concentrates out there, MANY ARE 100% juice, alot of thm are NOT.
I know you want 100% juice, but for those of us who cant read like me, LOL, and those who dont understand the value of these frozen concentrates., can you explain why you dont use "juice cocktails".
What can I expect from this, gonna be better than fermented Kool Aid, but is this a waste of $20?
Thouights?
