Sap goes from roots to limbs to feed buds to create new growth. Now is the dormant season in colder climates.

I've done 55 gallon batches of wine in the blue water barrels with dry yeast. It usually takes 2 to 3 days for it to kick in but it always has. Now my suggestion would be to hydrate a new batch of yeast and make sure its actually working, then dump it into your carboy. If it starts working you...
