As I wrote in my last thread I just started my first batch two nights ago. I put in 5 campden tablets for 5 gallons of wine (including the volume of the cherries in it which is probably about a quarter gallon). I also made a yeast starter by putting the yeast in a jug with some water, 1 tsp of orange juice, 1/4 tsp of yeast nutrient, and a tablespoon or two of sugar (this did show signs of fermentation before relaxing back down).
This morning I added the yeast starter to the wine and let it sit with the lid on (but not snapped in place) and now that I am back from class nothing is happening although it does smell like the yeast starter did. Every one gallon batch I have done before this started acting instantly but this 5 gallon batch has had several hours and still no activity!
Whats going on!?
