no primary fermentation
by RoseManJim » Sat Dec 18, 2004 1:30 pm
I am using Vintners Harvest Peach concentrate and have added Cote de Blanc packets twice, then a Lavlin yeast but it just won't start to ferment. I noticed you mentioned in a prior response that you perfer a temp of 70+ degrees. My must was at 60 - 65. If I heat it up, would that get it going?

Warming it up certainly would not hurt. 70 deg F. or a bit more is best. Did you add sulfite prior to fermentation? If so, how much?

John, the rise in temp did the trick. I too thought I added too much sulfite. I used 1 Campden tablet per gallon. This seemed to work before so I was worried. Anyway, it's going strong now. Thanks.

Glad to hear it. Usually the problem is temperature or sulfite.
