Hello all, I started a batch of strawberry wine 4 days ago and there's no sign of fermentation. Still at 1.070 which is where it started. There are two reasons I can think of that is causing this. #1 in the basement at 66 degrees, I've moved it today and had it at 72 for about 6 hours now. #2 I used distilled water . I wasn't aware of the problems with using distilled until browsing the forum today. I have added 1 gallon of filtered tap water about 5 hours ago. If this does not start in the next 24 to 48 hours does anyone have any suggestions(anyway to jump start the yeast)? The recipe is as follows:
5 gallons distilled water
10 Lbs corn sugar
10 Teaspoons Acid Blend
5 Teaspoons Yeast Nutrient
2 ½ Teaspoon Pectic Enzyme
1/4 teaspoon sulfite
1 96oz can Vintners Harvest Strawberry wine base
1 pkg Red Star Premier Cuvee wine yeast added after 24 hours
