Hi brewers,
I started a batch of elderflower wine last night. I added yeast and nutrient. 24 hours later no sign of the yeast doing anything. I usually see something happening within 12 hours.
I am wondering if I did not let the liquid cool down enough before I added yeast. Also, I did not let the yeast sit on the top for 15 minutes as I usually do. I also used an opened packet of yeast so wonder if I did not reseal it properly and if this could adversely affect.
Anyhow, if I add yeast and nutrient tomorrow, 48 hours after I should have, will everything likely turn out okay? Could the must have gone bad left 48 hours without yeast?
Any help much appreciated.
