I might leave it out then. That will save me a lime to have with my rum and ginger tonight.

I would have thought so, pineapple juice itself is fairly acidic so you might not need a lot extra
I will have a go. What the worst that could happen anyway. Just need to work out how much juice to use now.lol

I made first 2 WOWs recently
1 litre Stute WGJ
1 litre Tesco Apple, mango, peach and passion fruit.
500ml pineapple
700g sugar
Tannin, glycerine, pectic, nutrients
Tasted good, maybe next time I might try upping the pineapple to 1 litre and reduce the mixed fruit to 500ml to see if it makes it crisper and cleaner as opposed to fruity. It's good though.
Next
1 litre Stute WGJ
1.5 litre Tesco Forest Fruits. (Apple, Grape, Strawberry, Blackberry, Blackcurrant)
700g sugar
1 tsp acid
Plus the ingredients
This tastes nice and has a subtle berry flavour. The only thing is when it's cold out goes cloudy, then when at room temp it clears again. I used Ritchies Kwik clear so I wasn't sure if it is any residual gelatine or something else which comes out of solution at lower temperatures.
Also it tastes better at room temperature than cold, when it's fridge cold out tastes more acidic. I know that perceptions of sweetness are less at colder temperatures so I wondered if that makes it seem more acidic or is it is something else. I will try adding some sugar to some when cold and seeing what effect it has...

If the juice is 100% juice 2.5 litres will be fine, I thought it would be watery when I first started but it wasn't.
If i remember correctly the standard juice wine started at 1090 so not too much higher.
So don't look like I've balls it up then. I'll take that as a win
Reason #2
Adding Too Much Sugar At The Beginning Of Fermentation:
When a fermentation occurs what is really happening is the wine yeast is consuming sugar and turning it into alcohol. So the amount of sugar that is available to the wine yeast controls how much alcohol that can be made. But contrary to reason, it is possible to have too much sugar in a fermentation.
If the sugar concentration level of the must becomes too high at any given point--either at the beginning or during the fermentation--it starts to have an inhibiting effect on the yeast's ability to produce alcohol. In other words, the higher sugar concentration starts to act as a preservative effecting the fermentation in a negative way.

I realised that I hadnt added any water....that'll teach me to stay off the rum while I put a brew on. Topped up to 4lt now. Haven't bothered taking another reading. Let's see what happens

What is Stute WGJ please? I imagine it's white grape juice of some sort.

Thanks. It's certainly hard to find, I only came across one online retailer who say they have stock. Having compared concentrate to supermarket grape juice on a price per weight of fermentable sugars, there really is very little difference.

I did apple and cranberry cider from Aldi juice, 15litres of apple and 4 litres of cranberry with the juice of 4 limes and 3 strong mashed teabags. It turned out really well. fermented with Ebbergarden Kviek which give a nice dry cider but not too dry to my taste. It was really cloudy so I guess I could try some pectinase next time.
I couldn't really tell the lime was in there

If I ad 1lt red grape, 1lt appe and raspberry and 1lt apple. How much water should I be adding at the start? Cant get my head round topping up to 5lt later on.
If it top up to 4 lt at the start is that ok? I put one on the other day and that's what I did.
