HI everyone
Ive just made 2 gallons of hedgerow port.
Last night I moved the port from the bucket that all the fruit was in (it had been in there for about 5 days and the air lock had stopped bubbling).
I cleaned out and sterilized and the equipment and 2 demijohns and put equal amounts into both doing it a jug at a time so that both demijohns also had an equal mix of the port in.
But here is the thing, one demijohn is fermenting (by that i mean the airlock is bubbling albeit very slowly) and the other one doesn't even have any pressure in it (water in airlock is level).
So im left with a couple of questions
1. Why would this be?
2. Is the port going to spoil in the non fermenting demijohn?
3. If it is, is there anything I can do?
Im still pretty new too all this and im very confused!
thank you!
