Default Carrot Wine Remix

I see you are planning to juice your carrots rather than the
traditional prep....I wondered, have you found or thought up any
technique or equation for converting the quantity of carrots into the
qualtity of juice?

Has any of us?

I had given up on carrot, which, though delicious, is massively labor
intensive. If the juicing method works I am back on board! I don't
know why I didn't think of it before, but I do wonder.....how many
pounds of bioled carrots is equivalent to how many pounds of carrots
to juice?

I was going to try to make a carrot wine this weekend. Does anyone
have any pointers?

I was going to make a 5 gallon batch, starting with 4 or 5 cans of
white welches concentrate, adding enough carrot juice and water to get
the SG to about 1.09. I was also thining of throwing a few bananas in
for body and a little acid blend and nutirent to get it going.

Any other advice other than letting it age for a few years?

I am going to use a home juicer to make the juice day-of. Would it be
worth adding some of the straight pulp as well? I would think that
the juicer would get all the fermentable sugars out.

Thanks for the advice!

Alex.
