Hello all,
I'm making a pear wine now, as follows is how i,ve done it so far;
15-10-07 (day 1)
I cored and topped/tailed 15kg of Pears, then grated then into primary fermenting bucket
minced up white Raisins with a little water in blender then added to primary
added 15ml Sulphate powder blend with 3 tsp Ascorbic acid to help against oxidation
added 125ml Grape concentrate
added 2 tsp Rohament-p to break up fruit
added 1 tsp Tannine
added 5 tsp yeast nutrient (15g)
added 5 tsp Citroen acid (15g)
added 4 tsp Tartaric acid (12g)
added 2 tsp Malic acid (6g)
added Pectic Enzyme II four hours later
Stirring regularly
16-10-07 (day 2)
made up yeast starter, left for 6 hours
measured s.g. 1.030
added 3 ½ kg sugar to make s.g. 1.080
added yeast starter
17-10-07 (day 3)
nothing happening
a little bit more info for sherlock;
- the champagne yeast i bought, when i got home with it i noticed that the lid of the pot was loose, i've stored it since then in the fridge (5 days)
- the starter i made wasn't really doing much
I'm thinking of adding b1 vit tablets to the must to try to get it going, is that a good idea?
Any other ideas you might have to help me would be much appreciated
