So, got 3 gallons of no name brand "Cranberry Cocktail", contains
grape
juice, cranberry juice, and citric acid...cost about 12 bucks I think.
1/2
a pail of corn sugar to get it up to starting sg of 10%, few tsps of
yeast
nutrient and let er go. 1.5 months later I'm loving this stuff! Amazing
red color, has a "tanniny" taste like a red but the crispness of a white.
Started 5 more gallons after I tasted the first batch before it was even
done. I think I'm going to get myself a bunch more of this juice before
they change something in it, right now it has the perfect blend of acid,
grapes and cran. If anyone is interested I can post a link to some
shots
of the wine and some of the juice. You can't go wrong with this stuff
especially for how little it costs, I'd rate it about 10 steps up from
the
cheap white zinfandel kits I've been paying 2 times as much for!

I'd be interested in seeing your results. I've not seen mention of
using corn syrup before in place of sugar.


It's actually corn sugar, the pail reads "Dextrose Corn sugar - available in
dry form dextrose is 100% fermentable, its identical to sugar found in
natural juice. Used to extend high acid juices and to fortify those which
may be sugar deficient. Also great for beer"
