Started a new wine from scratch.  I had this can of Sun Country Burgundy Concentrate and thought this would be a good idea for a wine.

 After 12 hours added Pectic Enzyme, Yeast Nutrient and Acid Blend.  Checked SG 1.055 and used Ferm Calc and came up with 10 cups water 4 lbs sugar to get 3.4 gallons must at 1.093.  Created starter with 1 cup water and 1tsp sugar and adding 1 tsp every couple hours.  Boiled 9 cups and added 4 lbs. sugar to water.  After cooled added sugar water mixture to the 3 ¼ gallon level.  Checked SG and it was at 1.095 with temp correction.
