Hi all,
Very new to this. Generously donated 5 litres worth of apples by a mate which I dutifully juiced and got ready to ferment. 100% pure apple juice.
Noticed I had some blackcurrent squash in the cupboard and thought this might be a nice combo so added a bit. Concoction is c. 4.5l apple juice 0.5l blackcurrent squash.
However upon reading the label, disaster! Squash contains the preservatives sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate which I now know to be an inhibitor of yeast.
Give it to me straight doc, have I f**ked it?
Thanks in advance
