I need a little help. We have concord grapes and we normally make grape juice from them but I want to make some wine with them this year. We live in Lancaster PA and I am not sure when to pick them. I think we picked at the correct time (we have only been in the house for 3 years) but I am not sure.
Secondly- After we pick the grapes we use a NORPRO 11.7Qt Stainless Steel Steamer/Juicer/Cooker to get the juice. Do I need to add any water to this type of juice or do I just throw in 6 gallons to make the wine? Do I have to add any nutrients?
Third- I can't remember who I had this conversation with but they were from the State College area- he made a comment about using concord grapes but when you juice them it comes out white juice. He says it makes some of the best wine he has ever tasted and he has won a few awards for his other wines. Have any of you ever heard anything like that?
Thanks for any help!!
