I've 2 kg of chopped rhubarb 3 days old sweating in sugar

And 1 and half kg og grapes and 4 chopped apples doing the same

If a add grape concentrate is each mix going to make enough for a 4,5 liter Demi
Or do I need a larger Demi

See I don't want it thin

Thanks
 
What if I throw the lot together use say 500g of concentrate and divide into three demis?

I've put 500g of cane sugar into each pan of fruits
 
Can't you just add 250ml grape concentrate to each in the dj when you've strained them. Mixing the two might just make 2 gallons of bad wine, rather than 2 reasonable wines.
 
I've put each wine into 23 litre brew buckets
Two days on no gas coming through air lock
Is this because there's only 5 litres of brew in a 23 litre bucket ?
 
I assume you've put yeast in, if so then the air space and the fact that most buckets don't have a perfect air seal. You don't seem to have used enough sugar 0.5 kg isn't going to make wine. Rhubard doesn't have any sugar in for practical purposes (<1g/100g) and you won't get much from the amount of grapes and a couple of apples. Add at least another 0.5 kg (0.75 kg for rhubarb) to each for a wine, assuming that you've added 250g grape concentrate to each, so around 160g of sugar. What yeast are you using?

Hi thanks for your reply

I've added 1kg of sugar to each brew and and high alcohol yeast
I added the sugar 24 hours after

Yes I added the 250 ml grape concentrate also
 
So all should be well and fermenting away yes?
