Hi! First time brewer here, read many posts on this site which were informative, so I signed up today.
I am hoping to make a raspberry-pear wine in some store-bought white grape juice. Reading through instructions again, I think I missed a step.
Washed all fruit in water, then soaked in a vinegar-water solution for 10 minutes, then rinsed again. Boiled the new fermenting bags for 10 minutes, sanitized airlocks and anything I was going to use to touch the wine or sugar or fruit.
I then put the pears and raspberries in the fermenting bags, and awkwardly stuffed the 2 bags through the hole in the top of the container, and added back in some of the juice that I had mixed with sugar and wine yeast. I did not boil the fruit or add campden tablets, although I did the vinegar soak.
Can anyone tell me if I should just leave it, or if I should add a campden tablet now and then add more yeast in 24 hours, or just chuck the whole project and start anew? I don’t want to grow anything unhealthy!
Thank you so much in advance!
