Default reconstituting juice concentrate

Hi,

I have some juice concentrate but no instructions.

How should I reconstitute it?

My idea is to sanitize my fermentation vessle, put the concentrate in, then
boil some water in a covered pot and let it cool covered, then add the water
to the fermentation vessle.

But, I am wondering, if boiling will drive out dissolved oxygen, will that
create a problem for the yeast during the primary fermentation? Can I add
oxygen without oxidizing the juice?

Should I add bisulfite like with fresh juice?


Thanks

The concentrate probably has sulfites so I wouldn't add any. You add
sulfite to stun wild yeast ad let the cultered yeast take over for the
most part. Just agitate the water to get some oxygen in it.

I really don't see a reason to boil the water or cover the pot if you
do. Wine has higher alcohol and acid than beer so it takes a lot to
ruin it.
