Hello folks , I need a little help here. I'm starting my 1st batch of wine & have no idea what I'm doing, so please be gentle with me
.
I started a batch of fresh muscadine wine 9/22 with a simple recipe from a catalog. Started with 30 lbs fruit. Squeezed to about 1.5 gals juice. Added juice, pulp(in bag), 9lbs sugar, 5tsp yeast nutrient, 3/4 tsp pectic enzyme, 1 tsp tannin, 5 campden tabs, & water up to 5 gals in 6 gal bucket. Let sit for 24 hrs added 1 pack ( 5grms) Montrachet yeast--dissolved in sm amt warm water before adding. Must temp is about 80 degrees. Now 9/27 still no activity from yeast. What have I done wrong & how can I fix it??? Thanks in advance for your help.
