Hello again. Today I made my second batch of wine. Today I made white wine out of 100% juice concentrate. I made 3 gallons. This is what I used:

12 cans of welch's 100% pure white grape juice concentrate
1 gallon of welch's 100% pure grape juice
1 lb of raisins (for body)
3 campden tablets (KMS)
1.5 gallon of water
1.5 tsp of pectic enzyme
3 tsp of acid blend

I didn't have to add any sugar. My S.G. was 1.092, and my pH is 3.28. How does that sound? Did I miss anything? I know making wine out of concentrate isn't the "preferred" method of making wine but right now I'm on a budget so this is what I came up with.

Yea I wanted to use as much real juice and less water as possible, but after those 12 cans of juice and 1 gal of water I was at like 1.140, I had to add a little more water to get it down to 1.094.
 
Just introduced my little yeast cells to my 3 gallons of white wine. The yeast was producing smoothly in their starter so I dumped then into the primary.
 
Is there going to be an issue with the color of my wine due to the fact that I used red raisins instead of golden raisins?
