Couple weeks ago I started 5 x 30 liters plastic fermenters of plums wine. Pretty much same all 5 tanks. Except that some were given 8kg of sugar syrup and some maybe 7 kg.
3 tanks fired up very quickly and were fermenting well, there is still minor bubbling present (one bubble every 15-20 seconds). I will move this wine to other tanks very soon.
But two tanks-it seems nothing started there. I am a bit afraid to open that tanks, not to contaminate. I do not think I applied too much campden (6 tablets for about 26 liters of must), I guess I have done everything prett much same as other 3 tanks. It is now end of summer here in Australia and Feb was very hot and very dry. Couple days ago I added some more yeast and some more yeast nutrient and no any changes-nothing happens.
Anybody knows what happened and what to do ?
(I do not rehydrate yeast, I just put 10 grams on top of must and mix well-that worked very well before).
