Hey Oliver,
Yes, I did add the juice and all to the kits. I don't think it had a negative effect on the balance. Anyway, after racking from the primary fermenter to the secondary fermenter I necessarily had to QA some of the wine and it has great promise.
Regarding Joe and his wine, study his posts and learn. I have had the privilege and the pleasure of tasting some of Joe's wine (an Amarone) and it was outstanding! If you follow some of his process, he buys a sweet grape (Corinth, I believe) in a super market and adds them to kits without grape packs. Again, read his postings. It may be something you would like to try with your WE Triumph.
Buona fortuna!
