Blog Party of Leaf and Xena Hits 803 | Last Modified 2007-05-16
I wondered for a while if I should, in fact, write a review of this party, mainly because it didn't end so well for me, personally. But, life is life, and it does deserve a write up, in reality.

Hi Thank you I will try adding the yeast, can't understand, as the yeast is new. How much would you suggest I add? I hope it's not too late, I do hope its not ruined. ...
Comment Apple Wine Recipe comment by Ralph Hits | Last Modified 2012-01-20
Hi Judy, could be old or badly stored yeast, air could be escaping from somewhere else so not going through the airlock, the wine could be too cold... If it's warm and your airlock is sealed properly, then you could try adding some new, fresh yeast?...
