    Blackberry&elderberry wine not fermenting ...

    No, add extra fruit and sugar as above reccomendations.I did add that possibility after calculating I was about 0.13 galls out, as .07 galls out would have been closer using US galls

    How long?

    About 30 mins to chill it in the fridge (I never bottle wine that isn't ready to drink as it matures better in bulk, so it's left in demijohns to mature).

    Not bad - only a month from start, to bottling. A well aged wine. :heehee:

    Still bubbling... I've set it on the propagator to gently heat through a bit (multi purpose these propagators!) and hopefully force the remaining yeast to ferment off
