I thought I would post this to show the newbies that those of us that have been making wine for a long time screw up.
yesterday I started 2 batches of wine a 3gal batch of hibiscus and a 5gal batch of pineapple made from frozen concentrate. Had prepared both batches as normal then started yeast starters. For the hibiscus I was using Cote de Blanc , for the pineapple I was using red star champaign. Pitched the yeast for the hibiscus and then 2 hrs later was ready to pitch the yeast for the pineapple. It is now about 1:30 am opened the hibiscus and pitched the yeast prepared for the pineapple. So now I am at square one with the pinapple. Have a yeast starter almost ready to pitch today. Now this is not a total loss just a temporary set back. Maby we should share some of our goof up with the newbies to help them feel better when they mess up or need help.
