If I use a frozen puree to make wine, what quantity per gallon should I use? Should I just figure it the same as whole fruit weight wise?
I'm thinking of trying a Guava wine since the wife loves them but where I live now there are no trees in the neighborhood, so it's puree only. And I'd be guessing at how much whole fruit to use anyway.
 
I've used puree'd fruit (strawberry) and was happy with the results. I do not add water to my fruit wines unless the fruit absolutely needs it, such as for cranberry or lemon. I have no idea about guava though! Anyway, the weight of the puree you use should be similar to that of the whole fruit, roughly 10-13lbs per gallon, unless you intend to dilute with water or blend with some other base wine/juice.
