Default Fig wine and redcurrants...

Hi all,

I'm just about to make a little batch of fresh fig wine, as per the
recipe on Jack K's site. The recipe calls for 3 1/2 tsp of acid blend.
Well, I don't have any, it's Sunday, and I'm unlikely to be able to get
to the brew shop for a few days this coming week to get any. But what I
do have is about a litre and a half of redcurrant juice, frozen, which
for a number of unconnected reasons, I need to get out of my freezer, to
make room.

So, any opinions on whether it might make a welcome addition to the
figs, and what sort of quantity I might need to throw in as a substitute
for the acid blend?

cheers,
robin
