Thanks! That is exactly why I started to rethink 1 Gallon into a 5 or 6 gallon batch. Have you ever used a Fruit Based concentrate? I understand they can add a lot more flavor and color than frozen or fresh fruit.

We just bottled a Welch’s Concord Grape (from concentrate) & black cherry that came out beautifully. I LOVE the cherry flavor, but the wine we made was so-so until I started adding black cherry juice from the store. Even so, it still tasted a bit medicinal. Adding the grape juice concentrate adds another dimension & makes it a very mellow wine. Since this is the first time I’ve done that, I might try a blueberry/concord grape concoction in the future.

I haven’t seen any blueberry fruit concentrate anywhere. Do you know of any?
