Hi
Looking for some help as I feel something may of gone wrong.
I made at the end Sept 2012 an elderberry wine which I followed the recipe from First Steps in Winemaking. It had a vicious ferment which turned my cupboard and some of my clothes purple! Quite amusing. Since then it has pretty much kept up pressure on the airlock and is pushing air through, not that regularly now and some times the airlock levels but then moves again.
The SG says it isn't ready and I'm quite perplexed as to how long it will actually take. I'm quite patient however I would like to taste the fruits of my labour.
Anyone help? Shall I just kill the ferment?
Thanks
Ps
I have also got a pineapple and a blackberry wine doing the same which are slightly younger but non the less started in 2012
