Default Another Newbie Question

I only make 1 gallon batches. Just another question, are you using frozen
100% concentrates either Welch's or Old Orchard? If so, here's the generic
recipe I use,

2 - 12 oz cans of frozen 100% concentrate/juice
1 - 6 oz can of frozen lemonade (strained & keep the clear juice only)
2 - 2 3/4 cups sugar (use 2 cups if you want a dry wine, use more if you
want a sweeter wine)
1 gallon water (boiled and cooled)
1/2 tsp yeast nutrient (sometimes you need this to get the batch going)
1/8 tsp tannin (if you want/not necessary)
1/2 tsp pectic enzyme
1 package of wine yeast (Montrachet is fast, but others work just as well)

I would suggest you read up a bit - check out Jack's site,
http://winemaking.jackkeller.net/index.asp .
Jack has a recipe too as well as specific directions.
