When a current ferment is finished i wanted to start a grape wine, first batch ever. I purchased vinters best concord grape concentrate which will make a 5 gallon batch. I was going to add an additional 2 gallons of something plus cane sugar (simple syrup) for a targeted sg of 1.950 and must volume of about 7.5 us gallons.
I wanted to get input on some tweeks that would enhance this like mediocre recipe.
I was thinking of adding some cranberry and/or tart cherry juice (no preservatives). Maybe 32 oz a piece and maybe a gallon of white grape juice. Was thinking this might add some subtle background.
In addition I wanted to add tannin, a pound of golden raisins and maybe an oak spiral.
Any thought on this plan?
