I have a question: has anyone ever purchased a wine kit with concentrate, and then not diluted it as per the instructions?
I'd like to see if concentrated juice could give a hint of the wonderfulness of ice wine, but at a fraction of the price. I know that the wine kit concentrates are acid balanced for dilution, and that yeast getting going in that high of SG would be a challenge, etc... that's why I'm asking if anyone has either tried it, or if they've actually done it.
Ice wine kits are $100 minimum for a 3 gallon kit... but concentrate kits can be had for quite a bit less. Anyone tried this?
(I did do several searches before starting this thread, but I only came up with a lot of extraneous stuff.)
