Scaling up for 5 gallon batch

[Nev166]

Quick question

I’ve always done 1 gal at a time, so scaling up to 5 gal, how do the main ingredients scale up?
I’m assuming it’s not 5 times the amount?
Yeast
Nutrient
Pectolase
Etc

thanks in advance

If you are making supermarket juice type wines then yes its 5 times everything but you can get away with 3 heaped teaspoons of yeast as others have dome many times (i would go for 4 to be on the safe side)

Yep it all scales up except the time and effort, that's where you gain.

Im actually making your recipe too!
1kg raisins
10L AJ
10 tins peaches (well I’m doing 6 peach and 4 pear)

Peach and pear is a nice mix. I recommend back sweetening a little bit as it does bring out the fruit flavours.

Thanks for the advice. Only mixed as the pear was reduced to clear and they only had 6 peach!
