Hello
First time poster and first time user of fresh juice buckets. I have used 'hot packed juice' before which was said to have as as much as a year of shelf life as long as it remained sealed. I have just received a shipment of 5 6 gallon buckets that were shipped and stored cold from a local Italian importer. Somehow i neglected to prepare for starting all 5 batches at once, as at best I currently only have the ability to primary/secondary two or three at one time. I am assuming that the juice had been blanced and treated with some sulfite prior to shipping, but my question is how long I can wait to open and start fermentation?
Thank you in advance
