My wife has decided to join the wine making crowd so we went into wilko to buy a wine kit she chose a 6 bottle kit. So we got it home and started to read the Instructions in the wilko kit. This what it said ) "Empty the contents of the can into a glass demijohn then add 1.8 litres of COLD WATER!!! then 450g of suger plus the yeast" ) Now I have never heard of starting wine with cold water!!! but waited at first the yeast seem to work but with in 24 hours nothing no bubbles or froth we did follow the next instructions which said add warm water to the mix but that seems not to do nothing the Demijohn is siting on a heat mat. Has this wine gone bust or should leave it alone and wait the starting SG was 1040. P.S. when mixing the sugar etc in the cold water when I added the yeast it told me to add a sachet of Nutrafine Like I said never heard cold water to start a wine kit before
