Strawberry amount?

[Morten]

I have 14 kg of frozen strawberries.
Is it way to much to use all of it in a 20 liter batch?

Conversions this early in the day is challenging!

I used 4 lbs for a 1 gallon batch earlier in the year and decided my next batch would be around 6 lbs. My opinion is that it's not "way too much".

I converted to US measure to check my figures -- if all strawberries are used, you've got 5.85 lbs per US gallon, which is @BigDaveK's figure. 14 kg is spot on for the volume.

Also keep in mind that a "recipe" for a wine is not absolute. It's not like baking a cake or bread where the ratios of ingredients IS important. If a wine "recipe" says 4 to 6 pounds of fruit I would venture to the upper limit or more.
