We are making a highly concentrated blackberry wine. We used 4 3/4 liters of juice(16 1/2 lbs) of berries and then added 2 cups of sugar to get a brix of 22. Added 1/2 tsp of K Metabisulphite and stirred. added 1/2 tsp pectic enzyme. Brix 22 SG 1.094. Hydrated the yeast(it seemed sluggish). Added the yeast starter + nutrient - stirred- put on lid and airlock left for 15 hours and nothing. Added 1/2 tsp of nutrient and now 24 hrs later nothing. One of the places we go to suggested that you should not hydrate your yeast but apply dry on top - never fails - EC1118 Lavlan - tried that last night and now still nothing. Any ideas.
