I'm making 2 parsnip and one Raspberry wine, we filtered the parsnips into our 2 demijohns and the raspberry into a "demibucket" with a new style airlock all filtered and racked off on the same day. One parsnip and the raspberry have stopped bubbling.
Parsnip
The Demijohn that continued to ferment, we'd added ginger, raisins and cinnamon to the demijohn so it has plenty to eat and is still bubbling merrily to itself. The stalled parsnip demijohn we added 100ml cooled, boiled water, 100g chopped raisins, 1tsp nutrient and 1tsp yeast last night. It's now blooping slowly so we think it's okay. We did something right.
The raspberry, we need to most help with.
We're not sure if it's filling the space under the lid as it does seem to be bulging up, but not by much. We pressed down on it on two occasions and air came out of the airlock. But the first time it sucked the water out of the airlock and into the container.
It's "blooped" only once that we've seen and Husband and I are watching, it's quite relaxing. We accidentally (sleep problems) added the sugar in one go at the start and it had a great primary fermentation, but had slowed down when we "racked" it. We filtered, but did squeeze the bag to get more liquid through. Which could be our problem.
What do we do?
Do we test it with the hydrometer as it was sweet several days ago? Rack it off into the new to us demijohn-it's about due? Do we feed it? Add more yeast? Add more yeast sugar and nutrient?
https://www.lowcostliving.co.uk/home-brewing/raspberry-wine-recipe/We got 2 more demijohns so that will negate the distended lid. But I doubt that is a factor. Someone told us after they had the money that they were selling their Husbands because they didn't think he'd get back into it.
