First Skeeter Pee Think I have a problem

[Thunter]

So on Friday I started My First Skeeter pee. Followed the directions. I am Using a Slurry from a RJ Peach Chardonay I made in April. Kept the Slurry in Tupperware in the fridge. Friday I started the SP and took the Slurry out to get to room Temp. A good 24 hours. Added my Slurry Sat night. It has been a good 24 hours and Nothing. Gave it a stur to hope it gets going. If by tommorrow Night I see or Hear Nothing. Should I add a yeast packet. I have a couple packs of Lavin 1118 I could use. The Slurry I am using is also from Lavin 1118.

Yes but you should make a good starter and introduce the "Pee to it a little at a time to get it acclimated to this high acidity atmosphere.

Also wanted to add that I have a temp of 71

Thunter it could take up to two days before it starts, mind usually starts on the second day after I introduced the slurry. Also, temps need to be in the 70's and you need to whip the juice pretty good a couple times each day before and after it starts to ferment.

There are some slurries that are problematic. I have them listed in the FAQ section of the SP website about a third of the way down. The topic is: {Q: Are there any other qualifications for a good slurry?} Check to see if any of the problem slurries would match what you used.

Hmmm My Slurry might not be a good one then It was from a Kit that was low Alcohol ( A RJ Breezes Kit) but you leave it in the Primary till it gets or .998. I will give it another 24 hours and see how it goes.

That wine was racked off that slurry before you add sulfites and sorbate right?

 

[Thunter]

Yes it was.

If you neeed to start another slury what I did was put my slury in a contianer in a sink of hot water. I changed the water every 4-6 hours (basically when ever I thought about it). I then added 1-2 cups of pee to the slury at a time until I had about half a gallon going good (takes about 24 hrs to get there). I then added that slury to the rest of the pee which had a temp of 75 degrees.
