Concentrate question??
It has been several years since i last made wine. I was wondering where the
most reasonable place on the internet was to by concentrate, the last batch i made i used sun country conc. it was a cab. and turned out nice. I don't need the kit's i have all the equip. just the concentrate. Also, do the additives, ie. acid blend, tannin, etc. go bad. I 've had these in storage also. thanx bill |

Concentrate question??
Most wine additives keep fairly well. Yeast can expire, obviously. But
if they're not too far out of date you may be able to get a yeast starter going. Even just a few viable yeast cells can multiply and ferment a large batch to dryness. The one big exception is pectic enzyme. It doesn't keep well, unless refrigerated. I've made quite a bit of wine from Alexander's concentrate. Northern Brewer is a reliable supplier. If you're going to use concentrate, I suggest augmenting it with raisins or banana's. Both will add body. Greg G. |
