I started the Mosti Mondiale Renaissance "Amarone" Kit last evening, taking special care as to follow all instructions. While I waited for the Bentonite to soak for 30 minutes, the yeast was to be placed in warm water and also soaked for 15 minutes. So, watching my time, I started the yeast about ten minutes left of the Bentonite soaking. As I stirred in the Bentonite, and checked my temperature..............it was 62 degrees. I needed 70-76. So, I placed the heater wrap on the fermenter, took some juice out and placed it on the kitchen stove and warmed it to 100 degrees. Adding it to the bucket I turned out to a 70 degrees.
Now,my worry is this: The yeast packet said "NOT" to allow the yeast to sit in it's water longer than suggested. This yeast sat for one hour and 25 minutes. I did place the yeast bowl in a bowl of warm water and covered it with a paper towelto keep it warm while I adjusted the temperature of the juice.
This morning, as I looked at the fermenter bucket, I'm not for sure if there is any action. Do I have reason to worry?
I will check it this afternoon after work to see if there is any action. too! Thanks!
