5 gallon batch

[Berry Juice]

Anything to be concerned about if I make a 5 gal batch of Master Vintners Weekday Cab instead of 6 gal?
What will the favor profile be?
Should I use BM4x4 or RC1112?
I want to use this 8.5 Gal demijohn and I need 2 kits.

If I understand your question you’re wanting to make a 6 gallon kit into a 5 gallon kit? I’m not sure if it would become unbalanced. You could do it and then add water at the end if it’s funky tasting but that would also lower your abv.

That being said, I buy concentrated juice from www.homewinery.com and make a 5 gallon “kit” into a 4.5 gallon to boost the flavor.

Dr Alarms, what concentrates do you recommend from Homewinery? The prices look very good. I’m wanting to try a Sangiovese and a white. Any insights?

The only one I didn’t like was the niagra
