Hey gang...
I just finished making a batch of Welch's white with EC-1118 as the yeast, which turned out great. I'm curious to know that if I used two cans of concentrate with some fruit and water, how much fruit would I need per 1 gallon batch? Would two cans be too much? I'm interested in plum, peach, or black currant to start. I can get plums and peaches at the supermarket in the summer, and there's some berry farms nearby that have the currants.
Second question... would a similar approach using jam be possible? If I used 500gm (~ 1lb) of jam per gallon would that work?
Finally, is there any real difference between the oak you buy at the wine store and the oak you buy at the lumber yard... other than the outrageous price difference? Could you use lumber yard oak?
