    How do I know when the hard cider can be racked and should I expect the unfiltered apple juice to clear?

    Blueberry Wine Will NOT Start!!

    I realize this thread is old, but it saved me this week as I could not get my blueberries to begin fermentation. I used the suggestion of starting another packet of yeast and adding a cup of blueberry must. I added a second cup when the first begin to bubble. I also did a water bath in our...
