Grape juice from a carton

Sep 12, 2004 1 Replies

I have recently seen grape juice at a local store. The label says 30% concentrated grape concentrate and 70% water. of course there will be preservatives etc as well.



My question is, can I use this juice with as it is, fill a demijon add yeast and ferment to finish or do I have to use a recipe, if so, any suggestions?

If it has preservatives it probably will never ferment or not ferment well. You can do what you want using frozen grape concentrate many do not have preservatives as frozen does not need them. You can find excelent recipies on Jack Keller's site using Welch's frozen concentrate. I highly recomend the White Niagara. It makes an excelent wine and is ready to drink in 2 months!
