What temperature is the must?
Did you use any yeast nutrient? I know the recipe doesn't call for nutrient, but I reckon a little won't hurt. Honey is low in the nutrients the yeast need. Give it a really good stir (splash it) go get some oxygen in there, and keep the must in the range 20 - 22c until it gets going properly.

Well atm it's in a room where the airing cupboard is which is quite warm. Will measure the temp in there in a bit...
Should I just add a Vit B1 tab to each and give it a stir with my spoon? Or do I really need to shake it up? Also, I use VWP for sterilisation. Is it ok for me to make up a solution and put into a spray bottle to sterilise the odd spoons etc. rather than making some up everytime? Will it keep indefinitely? Kevin

make up a 10% sulphite solution instead, it will do the job, and wont need as much rinsing regards bob

what is the SG? is it dropping? are you observing active fermentation in the must (not at the airlock) push the bung in to make sure it is tight, the CO2 could be escaping at the edges. A fall in SG is the best indicator of active fermentation. but its only a couple of days in, i wouldn't be worrying too much at this stage regards Bob

Hi folks, I haven't been on here for months at least but thought I would have another go at making some more AOM, so came back to check the recipe.
I am sitting here drinking some that I made in May 2008 and it is bloomin' lovely! I think I will go over to the supermarket juice (No 1 wine) wine section and have another go at that. Got stuck into a bit of a rut and couldn't be bothered with a lot of things, wine making being one.
