I started several juice bottles fermenting and two of the three are gently bubbling away. The third already has a sediment on the bottom and as far as I can tell is not fermenting.
The third was an experiment. 2/3 of the bottle was what I removed from the other juice bottles, but 1/3 was from a bottle of Diet Cranberry juice. I blended the three bottles and added sugar.
The "Diet" juice was sweetened with acesulfame potassium, which is a frequently used artificial sweetener. I can't find online that is as any preservative properties, but I think it may have killed the yeast in the blend.
Again, this was an experiment. I wanted to see what effect the Diet Juice would have.
Has anyone else ever tried this? Do you think I could recover the fermentation by re-pitching the yeast after activating it in warm water?
