Has anyone tried using this stuff for something along the lines of wine #1? I've got one on the go and it seems to be working but it is going slow as.... something very slow.
I also took a fancy to dumping a load of this juice onto the lees from a Beaverdale kit along with a sachet of GV1, but this seems to be stuck at 1.040 nearly 2 weeks after it started. I've started regular SG checks on it now, but it was at a mates house before. The only other possibility is that in my cheapness I cheaped out on the neutrient and put in 2tsp per 5G ratehr than 5tsp per 5G. Has my cheapness undone my wine making dream here?
Is there something about this juice that makes it prone? Was I unfortunate with the Wine #1 I made from this and the other problem was down to under nutrient?
It does seem to be the ideal wine making juice, nice balance of malic and tartaric fruits with a bit of something else in for a change, all in 1 carton and all for the price of 63p per litre at tescos!
