I just started a batch of welch's grape, Btw I am using actual juice not the canned concentrate... But i have a quick question, i mixed it yesterday (5 gallons) wanted to do 6gal, cause that's the size carboy i got... ran out of sugar and campden tablets.. added the yeast ealier today, now i have more of the camden and the sugar.. and ofcourse the rest of the ingredients... can i add another 1gal recipe to the 5 gal batch, even though i've already sprinkled my yeast ? cause i am sure i will have to mix the batch up again.. i have more yeast to sprinkle on top.. just need to know pretty quick so i can put it in if i can.. thanks

Suppose you already did whatever it was you did, but adding it in would not hurt anything. Even at this point, if you did nothing so far, adding an additional gallon to the fermentation, assuming the same pH and brix level as when you started, you should be ok.

you should be able to add it with no problem at all if you just started it only thing is you'll need to get that extra gallon to the same SG as the other was when you first started and then add it and it'll be fine or should.

Don't worry about the camden tab if you already added yeast or you'll stick your ferment.
