This is the first time I have ever tried to ferment white grape juice and it's not working. I'm using Walmart brand 100% white grape juice. I don't see anything in the ingredients that's different from the WM brand 100% red grape juice that I have been using that ferments like crazy.
I added another bit of yeast after 2 days, shook it up good and so far, about 12 hours later not a single bubble and no pressure in the bottle. I see all the yeast just suspended in the liquid. I'm using yeast from the same vial that I've had other batches of various 'stuff' this week that is going like crazy.
I filled the bottle to about 90% of the white grape juice, used 1 cup sugar, and 1/8tsp of yeast.
Could I have a bad bottle of juice?
