I have 4.5 gallons of dry blueberry wine (~15% alc) that is a little thin on taste. Has anyone ever simmered down the R.W. Knudsen 'Just Blueberry' juice to add some flavor as a f pac? How much should I add? I bought 3 QTs this afternoon... I added campden and sorbate yesterday, all ready to go, I believe. Was kind of planning to simmer down 2QTs by 60%, add a small touch of sugar, and rack it all together.

As a follow up, I did just what I said. Reduced two QTs of Just Blueberry down by 50%, mixed in about 1/4 cup of sugar, and racked together with my wine. Added a lot of flavor and body. Back into aging she goes... Be interesting to see where it is in a month or 10.

I use this stuff. Tell them on ordering that you do not want yeast or nutrient, just the concentrate. You can freeze it in smaller containers for use as a back-flavoring. No need for all the work reducing juices, and it is reasonable when viewed as an adjunct by the gallon of wine. Also good for making wine!

No longer a newbie, but still clueless.
Just picked up some of that concentrate to back sweeten my blueberry port.
FWIW, I was a couple quarts short on volume when I started fermentation and used Knudsen's to fill the gap.
