1122. Would work great for this wine. Make sure you get enough juice, you should not be adding any water

Here is a link to my blog with my recipe. I used concentrate not liquid juice so as julie said do not add water.

Do I need to add kmeta to this at the beginning?
I was thinking about this after buying all of the juice.
I wouldn't really need to add any until the stabilizing stage right?

You are probably right, I know I don't worry about adding it to welch's frozen concentrates, look on the label to see if there are any sulphites listed. There sould be I can't imagine anyone selling juice without sulphites added.

When I take ingredients out of the freezer I don't add sulfite. I figure the wild yeasts/bacteria will be stunned enough from the cold. I do however keep a clean environment and get musts fermenting asap.

Never had a problem so far.
