Making blackberry wine w sparkling wine yeast (meant to use red wine yeast but picked the wrong one out of fridge). Don't mind if it is sparkling but my question is this: after I added the boiling hot water, I waited 4 hours to let cool then added yeast starter mix. This is a 5 gal batch in a 5 gal bucket so there is only a few inches of space at top of bucket. Recipe said to cover w plastic wrap. It has been 24 hours and not much is happening. Cud I have killed the yeast?
