Hello,
I was hoping to get some feedback on this issue.
BACKGROUND
Started 3 x 1 gallon batches of Elderflower Wine (from Cordial - good results before). One had a mug of very strong (stewed) tea, another had 1kg raisins and the last had the rind of 3 oranges and the juice of 5 oranges. All made on the same night in the same fashion - 1kg sugar, pectolase (accidental in the Tea one) and 1 crushed campden. Left to sit for a day before introducing the yeast.
CURRENT SITUATION
Currently (after 1 1/2 days of yeast introduction) the Raisin based wine is bubbling away (once every 10 seconds or so). The tea wine is bubbling at a rate of once every 10 minutes and the orange one is bubbling at about once every 20 minutes. The temp is about a steady 24oC. I intorduced 2 tespons of nutrient into the tea and orange ones yesteday afternoon but it didn't really have any noticable affect.
Is there anything wrong or should I jsut exercise patience? What could be casuing this and is there anything I should do? The elderflower cordial on it's own with 1kg of sugar was fermenting at about once a second within the first day.
Thanks for taking the time to read.
James.
