Concord wine

[rob]

i think it was Julie that posted her recipe for concord wine, I made it but thought it was a little too sweet so I added 2 cans of cranberry concentrate, we serve this over ice and it is really great.( early drinkable) I would like to make another, the orginal recipe called for concord jam, would concentrate do the same? seems like it might be easier.
any thoughts

Did it finish sweet or did you sweeten back and go to far?

I did not back sweet, however I could not get it to fermit dry, 1.02 was the best I could get, never tried to restart. i guess that is why it was a little sweet????

Welch's concord juice and concentrate both work well. I prefer the juice bottles, but cost diff *might* be a factor.

I've done Concord and Black Cherry/Concord a few times with results at least as good as the commercial concord wines available around here.

I bottled a batch of Black Cherry/Concord a few weeks ago and have a batch of Concord aging now that I'm thinking about doing some blending with.

I don't care for any Concord wine dry ...
