Increasing Batch Size

[Hoonakwa]

I have a recipe for 1 gallon of apple. It has been a great success. I now want to make 5 gallons of it. Do I just multiply all the ingredients by 5?

All except for yeast. use one packet of yeast, not 5.

Izzy, Cmason is spot on, and if it were me I would also increase the amount of apples (assuming you are using fresh and not juice). The more fruit the better in my book.......................Dizzy

I’d never spend that effort on a gallon. Takes as long to make a gallon as it does to make 6 gallons.

Going to use juice, that is all I have ever used to make apple. I also use juice to make my concord grape wine. So far the only real fruit wine I have made with fruit is my dragons blood.

Thank you , I was thinking that would be the case, so wish me luck!
