Idiot....
« on: September 19, 2013, 11:29 »
Ok i placed my blackberrys and damsons in my fermenting bucket heated up the water with sugar placed this in bucket then this is where my brain goes dead ....as cant recall putting in any yeast or yeast nutrient
so four days later i strain fruit and place liquid in demijohn
two days later im writing this as will it be ok to add yeast now ?? as basically all i have are two demijohns with fruit liquid in or do i have to start the process again ??

How daft am i , i did crush a couple of campden tablets i recall that and pectalouse i recall adding

I don't recall any foaming or yeast activity so think i forgot ....

what can i do 
3 girls .............very addictive these girls are becoming

It depends if the air has got to it before the yeast would have created a CO2 protective layer.
I think I would take a sample out and taste it.  If its gone you should be able to tell.  If it tastes like a strong fruit juce then add yeast.

I think yoiur 'brew' would have told you that there was yeast about by a thick frothy layer above the liquid.

It's fine to pitch yeast at this stage. Best to leave pectolaise 24 hrs to do its job before adding the yeast anyway. Av fun

Surely you have a "hydrometer" that will  tell you if there has bee any fermentation.
