I have an old meet grinder I use for raisins that works great and is easy to clean after.

What???? All I did was to look up to the sky and let the air out of my lungs.
Hi everyone! I found this recipe on another forum. It's for 1 gallon and I would be making 6 gallons. Thoughts on his recipe and how would alter it for 6 gallons?
Welch's Frozen Grape Juice Wine
2 cans (11.5 oz) Welch's 100% frozen grape concentrate
1-1/4 lbs granulated sugar
2 tsp acid blend
1 tsp pectic enzyme
1 tsp yeast nutrient
water to make 1 gallon
wine yeast
Edit- note! You may want to skip the acid blend, at least at first, as some results say this wine is too "tart".
Bring 1 quart water to boil and dissolve the sugar in the water. Remove from heat and add frozen concentrate. Add additional water to make one gallon and pour into secondary. Add remaining ingredients except yeast. Cover with napkin fastened with rubber band and set aside 12 hours. Add activated wine yeast and recover with napkin. When active fermentation slows down (about 5 days), fit airlock. When clear, rack, top up and refit airlock. After additional 30 days, stabilize, sweeten if desired and rack into bottles.
Thanks!

I think I tweeked (IE: screwed up) the receipe a little, by addin a little too much sugar.
But will see how it works.
I would make that at least 3 cans of concentrate per gallon. I will use four per gallon in my next batch.
Are you saying it has not started by SG measurement or by visual appearance?
What yeast are you using? If it is something like RC212 that is not super-active, don't rely on visual for the first 3-4 days. Take measurements.
You could try stirring the heck out of it to oxygenate it. I'd take the dang lid off and put a towel over it to get max oxygen to it.
Dunno what effect the peppers might have had.
After all that, if it's really stuck, you can always resort to EC1118.
