    The recipe calls for 1 1/4 pounds of sugar, which is about 2 1/4 cups by my calculations... per gallon

    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

    Is distilled water perhaps my issue? Is there any way to fix the distilled water mistake if that is infact the issue?

    Welch's Grape Juice Wine

    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? Sent from my SPH-D710BST using Home Brew...
