Thank you everyone! I do appreciate everyones input because we all have different experiences. I only had 10 pounds of grapes so I didnt want to add five metabisulfite tablets (one for each gallon) so I ended up doing three so hopefully its enough but not too much.


This originally started out as a Sun Country concentrate that I planned to add my grapes knowing I wouldnt be harvesting much, then I got some hair-brained idea to top it off with grape juice. I'm kind of worried its going to come out horrible.


Anyhow, I added some sugar last night to reach 22 brix and 1.090 OG approx and have added the yeast (4244 wyeast - Italian Red).


- how bad is this wine going to be considering my grape juice addition?

- I have not tested pH or acidity levels yet. Is it too late to order the kit and test at any point in the future?


I do plan to add oak cubes and treat this whole batch as if it were an impressive red blend so any tips out there that this wine could benefit from I would surely be thankful.
