well, there are two different kinds...
there's welch's 100% white grape concentrate - frozen.
then there's welch's white grape cocktail - NOT 100%.
Don't use the second, but the first.
And you probably should do more than just bread yeast, but balance with
tannin, acids, etc... - check Jack Keller's website for a recipe for welch's
wine

Well, it was about 6 months ago, that I made the jalapeņo wine. It
was
jack
Keller's the blue ribbon recipe, but I about tripled the jalapeņos.
It
was
hot as hell, but it was very good. I am considering entering it in a
beer
competition under experimental, hehehehehe
I bet it will make the judges break out in a sweat and cry,
hehehehehe
I
am
going to have to make 5 gallons of this stuff I guess. I am going to
boil
the jalapeņos outside this time!!!! It burned my eyes and throat
doing
it
in
the kitchen.

I made a batch of this about a month ago.
My recipe was as follows
13 jalapenos
1 can Welch's Niagara concentrate
1 tsp pectic enzyme
2 tsp yeast nutrient
1 cup of raisins
2 1/2 lbs of sugar.
I think that was it.
I put everything in a blender and liquefied. The wine so far has
turned
out pretty well, I used it along with some other spices to marinade
some
chicken the other day. It turned out pretty good but It does pack
quite
a
punch. I think I will use it for mostly cooking.
The only thing I would have done differently would be to use a
straining
bag
instead of just dumping all the liquified pulp directly into the
primary.
It makes it kind of difficult to rack.

What is Welch's Niagara concentrate?

Sorry, Welch's Niagara Frozen Concentrate. I added a can of frozen white
grape juice from concentrate. You know the little cans of frozen juice
you
find in the freezer isle of the grocery store?
Thanks,
David
O.I. C. I was thinking it was concentrated juice, just did not know what
kind. The very first wine I attempted years ago was with Welch's White
Grape juice. It is supposedly 100% grape juice. The wine was drinkable,
glad I only made one gallon though. I fermented it in an old brown glass
Clorox bottle from back in the 50s. I used bread
yeast...Euuuuuuwwwwwwwww.....
