I added some yeast nutrient and another pitch and it's boiling away now - thanks for your help everyone! In future, I suggest NOT killing all the wild yeast in the must and pitching your yeast straight to the must. | |

| Oct 5, 2015 at 17:56 | comment | added | Denny Conn | Did you take an initial gravity reading? Have you taken one recently? That's the only way to know for sure. | |
