Can I make wine out of cranberry juice concentrate? In the ingredients I
see there is sodium benzoate......perhaps that is why the yeast does not
want to grow.......

anything I can do?

I inherited the cranberry syrup from the restaurant that I work
at.......they use it in the bar and run it through the "pop gun" they have
at the bar.......I also have orange juice syrup.....same thing, loaded with
sodium benzoate

thanks for any thoughts, Grace

Sorry Grace, no. The only thing that may work is to make a starter
and slowly add this juice to the starter but that is doubtful too.

Real Cranberry and Blueberry contain quite large amounts of natural
benzoic acid.
As Benzoic acid is anti yeast lactic bacteria fermentation of these
materials tends to be favoured.
