I had some time on my hand yesterday and about 5lbs of honey left over from a group mead brew session several years ago. They honey had crystallized and darkened considerably, but I didn't want to toss it. I also had a packet of wine yeast in the fridge so I decided to wing it.
I purchased some 100% juice concentrate (label said add 36oz water to 12oz of concentrate for 100% juice drink) and also found some frozen pitted cherries in the freezer so I ran them through a meat grinder into a nylon bag (about 2.5 or 3 lbs).
I added the honey, concentrate, and enough water to come out to 4 gal in my fermenter and added table sugar (about a pound) until OG of 1.070ish. I dropped in the cherry mush and some campden tables for a 24 hour rest and will pitch tonight (along with some yeast nutrient and pectin).
Anyway, any simple method of figuring out the potential for the concentrate to put in as an extract in Beersmith?
