Did I ruin my wine? I added the yeast at the same time as adding the campden tablets. Did I kill the yeast?!
I will wait about 12 hours and if it hasn't started fermenting, would it be safe to add another yeast packed in!? is two yeast packets too much for 5 gallons of wine!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
The wine is fine!.Campden tablets will kill all yeasts for about 24 hrs!.After 24 hrs just add another packet of yeast!.You should add more yeast anyway to assure you have a good healthy yeast strain going in your juice!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I doubt you'll get any fermentation, as the whole point of the camden tabs is to KILL the yeast to stop further fermentation!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
Yup!. You killed the little fellers!. Not to worry!. Wait a day or so after adding the campden tablets and then re-pitch with more yeast!. No big deal!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
