I'm a bit stumped and worried on this.
I made 5 gallons of blackberry and elderberry wine (SG 1085) back in October about the 14th. All went well, fermented on the pulp for 5 days then transfered to a carbouy. It stopped working when it got to SG .997, no bubbles and no more SG drop.
So on the 25th november i racked it to a clean carbouy and added a tin of the Youngs blackcherry kit to it, whick took the SG to SG 1010, a bit sweet, but ok. But i never added any sodium Met to it,,i wanted to see if the sugar in the blackcherry kit would do anything.
Since then its been quite,,doing nothing, no bubbles, no SG drop.
I've just looked at it now and its bubbling away like a mad thing!! Bubble in the airlock every 15 seconds...
I'm worried why it should suddenly come back to life after doing nothing for weeks........could this be a sign of a problem??? Or could it be that its mysteriously brought its-self back to life??
Its been in the same place all the time so temperture has been constance.
Well,,its got me stumped,,and i would hate to lose it if there is a problem.
Thanks.
