That is what I am leaning too. Making a 4 gallon batch with it and adding 6lbs of blueberries to secondary. Maybe some oak?

I do not have a kit just a gallon of the blueberry wine base.

A red wine. I would like a blueberry or a black and blue. Start with a wine base?

Wanting to try my hand at my first kit wine. Wanting a blueberry or blueberry/blackberry. Suggestions? Adjustments?

Thinking about making an Orange wine myself. Please keep us updated.

about to bottle my first 3 gallon batch 4029 + 3 = 4032
