Bill,

I'm just about to start a blackcurrant wine using your Partridge berry Wild Berry kit. This is my second brew of blackcurrant wine, but I seem to remember using a blueberry kit on the first batch, and subsequentially, more berries, (6 litres for partridge berry kit as opposed to 10 litres for blueberry). The first brew was excellent, nice body, good flavour, etc. I'm wondering about only using 6 litres of berries and the resulting body and flavour. Any suggestions.

On a related note, I made an Orchard Breezin' kit a couple of years ago, where a flavour concentrate was added to the must just before bottling. Would this work for the blackcurrant wine? My thought was to make the wine as per the partridgeberry kit, and then before bottling, boil down a couple of litres of berries and use the concentrate to add to the wine to add flavour and body. Comments?
