I am in the process of making my first batch of blackberry wine. The recipe i used was for 1 gallon and i am making 5 gallon so i did 5x. The recipe calls for adding water and sugar initially, then again after 7 days, then again after 10 days. I used 21 pounds of fruit for my 5 gallons. Today marked day 7 soni racked off the wine discarding the spent fruit. I squeezed all of the juice out before discarding. After doing this i have right at 5 gallons of wine. The next two steps call for just over 1 gallon more of water plus sugar. Does this sound ok where i am at? 6 gallons with a 5 gall recipe? I want a sweet wine with a strong blackberry flavor. So far i have added the sugar from step 2 but that is it. I havent added any water. Wanted to see what yall said first. Here is a link to the recipe.
