Mixed all kinds of fruit in this onehttp://www.finevinewines.com//Wiz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8669. Just back sweetened it and put it away to see how much it will clear on its own and to let the oak swim around for a bit.
The blends really can make a nice wine.

I just started a batch of the above berries from Wally World. I thawed and mashed them and put them in a strainer bag (A knee-high nylon stocking).
Got the acid to about .60 and the SG about 1.080. The yeast has been slow to start. Made up a starter and that seems to be OK. Added it to theprimary and will check tomorrow.
BTW. I used 4 lbs berries and 1 1/4 gal water. Some acid blend and some nutrient. Keepin' my fingers crossed.

I go to Sams Club. There I get 1 pkg of frozen strawberries and 5 bags of frozen mixed fruit. I make this every year and comes out great w/ adding a f-pac and back sweetening.

HAVE used all of them on occasion with good results one bag doesn't go far,as per TOM,but used to make a FPAC or a wine of their own......don't see a problem.however you need to watch the amount on ice you may see in the bag,sometimes they get partially

defrosted and then frozen again,watch for ice.
