Hi everyone ,
3 day ago I tried to make wine from cranberry juice, this is the steps I followed:
Pour 4 liters of juice in plastic bottle ,
+ 2 cups of sugar
+ raisins juice, small amount (about 4 spoon)
+ 1 teaspoon of bakery yeast, added to (1 tsp flour, 1 tsp sugar, 1tsp corn flour) mixed together in small amount of water.
I shake the bottle, fix a hose in a bottle of water to work as airlock, put it in dark place, the result is : nothing
I added more yeast (about 4 tsp).
The bubbles surged, very fast on the 1st and 2nd day, then slowed down gradually, stopped completely by the end of the 4th day.
Today I add more raisins to reactivate yeast, but there no response till now..
Now the juice is very cloudy and smells ugly, yeast smell is very clear
Is this normal?
The yeast consumed all amount of sugar and died ?
Or
There is something wrong in this patch ?
if it is normal should I transfer the juice into other container ?
Notice:
it is very hot here, about (43 C, 109 F), I think fermentation should take short time in such degrees
I dont hv any professional equips, impossible to find them here, no airlocks, no hydrometers, no DJ, no sanitizers.. so I have to create my own to work..
It is not my first attempt, the first patch resulted something else than wine
Thanks
