I have a 6 gallon batch of peach wine I started from fruit this past saturday. I made the must on saturday, added the yeast on Sunday (sprinkled on top) after maybe 18 hours, and I've seen no action at all from the yeast. Yesterday I thoroughly stirred it back up to oxygenate it a few times, and also pitched a new yeast in sugar water and added it in.
Today I still have bumpkus. SG is exactly the same, not even moved a bit.
I was doing some searching, and found this article, which I thought might be the culprit, as it matches what I did this time. It's a touch over 6 gallons in a 7.9 gallon white primary, and I put the lid on sealed with an airlock.
Reason #4 - Closing Up The Fermenter After Adding Sulfites
So, question: assuming this is the issue, if I vent the primary and oxygenate the must more, can I maybe try a yeast again after a bit?
Also looking for any other suggestions, thanks.
