Acidity

[Chuck E]

Sorry for late response. As I said to the others the whole internet of my country was down. I had no access to internet.
I was told that the wine which is made by concentrate would be thin. I thought that if I handle the acidity level of my wine then it wouldn't be thin anymore. (Although I needed acid blends for some recipes which I found on Jack Keller's site)

Wine from concentrate will be "thinner" than wine made from grapes. I think the "thickness" comes from the grape skins. But, for your first batch, you should just try it without adding too much extra stuff. I don't think more acid will help you. Can you obtain real grapes? You would be better off making a fruit pack out of 1 or 2 kg of crushed grapes.

It very well may be thin. But in my opinion, you cannot fix "thin" with acid. Perhaps the opposite, that is, adding acid to a thin wine will probably make it seem thinner. The usual suggestions to fix the body (thinness) are adding tannins and glycerine. Others may chime in with more suggestions.

Actually I maid my last batch with real grapes. Now I want to try it with concentrate. Thanks for your helping

Well. Can you define me "thin wine" as an expert? And also can you tell me how much glycerin I should use in 5 gallon of wine. (Can I use the coconut oil instead of glycerin? Or is there anything like that which would be useful?)
Also I was told that one glass of strong tea is suitable for 5 gallon (instead of tannin) Is that right?

Not sure I can say as "an expert," but to me thin wine has a watery mouthfeel; it is not very viscous.

Glycerin dosages can be up to ~0.5% by volume, so you could add something like 100 ml to 5 gallons (~19 liters). I don't know about coconut oil. If you have ready access to that, you could give it a try with anything, say, add it to water and compare with and without.

Thank you sir for your complete answer
