I'm only a few batches in but id be sure to sterilize those fermentation vessels and have drilled stoppers with airlocks one the yeast has multiplied and is now fermenting.
Also, what are you fermenting in... a pot? You need scratch free food grade plastic or glass that can be sealed off eventually via an airlock. You can do it in your pot... but I'd put money on this being your fourth failed attempt if you just use a dishwasher clean pot to make wine
If you are using the dishwasher as you sterilization agent, I'd assume that's why your beer went bad. Try a cap full of bleach with a gallon of water to sterilize everything that touches your wine. Stirring spoons, containers, stoppers... etc.
I started another batch of yeast in apple juice and dropped it last night. I can tell something is happening this morning. The yeast is forming a metropolis now. Gd noobs and all the impatient questions lol
After 28 hours should I worry? The lid is on loosely with no air lock. I also just realized I used distilled water not realizing it could inhibit fermentation. Yeast nutrient was added according to the original recipe. My first batch was peach and I don't remember how long it took for the og to...
I'm having the same problem with the plastic juice cans. Over 24 hours still at 1.090. I even started the yeast with a dab of Orange juice in some warm water and I know it was working. It smelled like bread dough. Can camden tablets kill wine yeast?
