Hi all. I have made some amazing elderberry wine in the past (even if i say so myself) but i stupidly did not take notes. I do remember i added too much water so to fix it kept boiling up liters of grape juice to add as a syrup.
I bought some dried berries last winter and want to make that up first so i need to calculate how much sugar to add and how much of the concentrate
I would like an OG of 1.105 finishing at 0.996 for approximately a 14% wine. I am aiming fo 11 liters to go into secondary. I have 500g of dried berries and 1l of concentrate.

Dilute with 4-5 times the amount of water (406g water per 100g concentrate).
Net weight 1L of concentrate: 1.370 kg approx.
I am planning on skipping the cold steep part as i am using dried berries and i am a fridge down. I might also add some blackberries.
Cheers.
