I know all I have contributed to this forum is questions but there are so many for a beginner so I'll apologise again.
I started a strawberry Ribena wine four days ago (using the recipe posted on the wine recipes forum) but to date it hasn't done a thing which I am slightly confused about.
Is it normal for wines to take a few days to get going?
I would have thought with all the sugar in those things the yeast would get to work pretty quickly.
If it makes any difference I added the yeast and yeast nutrient when the mixture was at 27 degrees. Is that too hot for yeast and is it possible I've killed the lovely little blighters? :wha:
It smells absolutely lovely though!
Thanks
Chris
