Apple Cider Wine?

[Wade E]

I agree, I would give it a little more time before doing anything to it.

I used 71B-1122 yeast. I only had one packet. I have a few K1-V1116.


Today still nothing. I used 6 crushed Campden Tablets because the recipe called for 1 per gallon and I am making siz gallons.

How is it going? I started an spiced-mulled apple wine and had a little
trouble with it getting it started too. I added a little more yeast
nutient to it and another sachet of yeast and warmed it up a little by
putting a light very close to it.and BAMMM, it took off like a
rocket. I probably didnt have to add more yeast but I got impatiet(not
a winemakers friend) but its done so, oh well. Moral to the story is
try putting a little nutrient or energizer in and maybe boost up the
temp just a little if its anywhere near being too cold. I think yeast
has a little harder time getting started when the temp is down but the
rest of mine that are already going have no problem.

Wade.
Glad to hear the apple is hopping now! I just started a plum this morning and it is singing to me with an aroma that only a winemaker can appreciate!

Last night I added another packet of yeast. Today I stirred it and it looked like maybe it is starting to fizz a little bit. Tommorrow I will add nutirent and energizer if it looks the same.


Thank you everyone for giving me pointers. If it wasn't for this forum I probably would have given up all together.
