First off thanks to those who have helped with my previous questions, it's really helped me get a grasp on things. My only other question is below:
I chose a fariley simple recipe out of a book i received for xmas, it's a dry apple wine which uses apple juice.
As we speak for the past 3 days i have sitting in my 60 degree basement a bucket with a tight lid and airlock on it filled with the following:
apple juice
pectic enzyme
sugar (which i just poured in, almost disolved but not quite yet, next time i will boil the sugar and ad it that way)
citric acid
campden talets
My question is, is it alright that this mixture sits for another 4-5 days?
I orederd a brew belt and will have it here soon, i just don't want to do the yeast starter and add it to the bucket yet, until i get the brew belt and can warm up the contents of the bucket to a temp where the yeast can thrive. I'm just not sure if the contents of the bucket will go bad in this time or what? I'm guessing it should be fine, but figured i would ask. I did stick my fingers in twice to pull out the floating thermometer so i'm guessing i should throw some more camden tablets in a couple days before i but the yeast starter in just to be safe.
Thanks again for all of your help.
