I ran across this "Extended Instructions for Making Wines from Kits" ( http://winemaking.jackkeller.net/extended.asp ) from the Jack Keller site and I had some questions about the science of some of the methods.
Particularly what has me curious if you look at those instructions is this sequence of events
Has anyone tried this? What does adding that 1 gallon back do other than raise the SG some and give more "fuel" for fermentation? What are the benefits of adding back part of the unfermented must vs fermenting together?
I was really curious when I saw this so I thought to ask.

- rehydrate concentrate to 6 gallons
- REMOVE 1 gallon and store in fridge
- after fermentation begins to subside, add back that 1 stored gallon
