Rick:

The first ever 5 gallon carboy of wine we made (last year) was
cranberry. Used 10lbs cranberries, 5lb raisins, S.G. to 1.115., TA
..7%.

This year's carboy will be 15lbs cranberry, 5lbs raisins and SG to
1.090 to 1.095., hopefully the TA will still be around .7%.

The first batch, rocket fuel, had to much alcohol, not enough
cranberry. Acid tartness was fine. Used it with sierra-mist this
last summer while painting the house. ;-)
