I want to start out and mention I'm very new to kit making and currently have 3 kits at different stages.
My question:
In commercial wine making for high end wines, is water added to the juice?
I first started a non premium kit with 12l of juice and followed the instructions to make a 6 gallon batch. I thought this was a lot of water. I then started an eclipse kit and only had about 1.5 liters of water to add.
What happens if you do not add any water to the juice? I feel I should have produce a 5 gallon batch instead of 6 for the 12l juice kit I first started. If the premium kits sell themselves on providing more juice for a total 6 gallon batch, could we just make a 12l juice kit to 5 gallons to create a higher end product?
