Give it a stir before adding the campden tablets or afterwards?

Stir it before doing anything else........
see what happens within 24 hours, if it doesnt correct itself then additions/interventions are required
hope this helps

I've fermented it, that is if it is Rubicon juice and not Lidl's own brand, no mould or other off things with it.With Grape flavour comes grape responsibilityComment

Yes, it's Rubicon. The green bits, very small, look like crocodile eyes breaking the surface of the water.
I've given the must a good stir [5 gallons of the darned stuff
] and will check again in the morning and keep a close eye.

I'm sure I read somewhere on this Forum that the Rubicon juice does tend to generate a lot of foam. Not sure about the green bits though.Pete the Instructor

Mine had no green bits in it, but it did have more of a 'solid' foam on top that I stirred back in a few times.Comment

no green bits in mine, or the watermelonComment

I've scooped the green bits out. They don't appeared to have multiplied yet - fingers crossed - but I will be keeping a close eye.
You're right about the foam Pete. The yeast is tearing into the wine and the cap of the foam was pretty solid - almost like a skin on a rice pudding.
I've given it a darn good stir and will see if any more nasties appear later.
If I do end up using 2 campden tablets per gallon, will that affect the yeast? If so, will it require another starter?
Thanks for all of the help guys.“Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana!”
