Hi folks,
I'm totally new to wine making but I picked up a Munton's kit recently that was heavily reduced so I thought I'd give it a go.
It's a Sauvignon Cabernet red 23 ltr kit. I've filled the bucket slightly over the requirements by about 3ltrs (was to busy talking at the time ) added the yeast and gave a good slosh about. Put the bung and valve thing in the top and so far no fermentation. It doesn't need any sugar as I think that must have been in the jerry can of syrup/concentrate.
Now, I don't know whether its the extra water I added or if I need to add more yeast, but its now been on 8 days and nothings happening. There's a few bubbles in the valve but nothing significant.
Has anyone had this before? How did you solve it?
I don't want to abandon it as I've bought the kit and bucket etc.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Mart
