    Can I use raisins as a flavor pack???

    I just started a batch of red wine from concentrated Welch juice and just planning ahead. I was thinking can I add raisin into the carboy if the grape flavor isn't strong enough? Instead of juicing it down? (after fermentation as stoped?) Just thought it might be an option?!
