Hi guys, I've just tried to brew my first batch of Hard lemonade. The airlock was bubbling nicely for two days, then all of a sudden its stopped...
I've taken a reading with a hydrometer and its barely moved from its starting gravity...

What should I do? I've tried moving it into an airing cupboard to see if that gets it going :confused:
 
did the temperature suddenly drop??
have you tried rocking the fermenter carefully to resuspend the yeast?
the batch i made took 4 days to start but over a month to finish.
search this forum for hard lemonade, lorenae has good posts on the procedure
good luck,rod
 
Don't think the temperature dropped too much - maybe from 18C to 14C on a night?

I'm going to try rocking it today :)
