The Yeast has Sunk

1 year ago | jharper (Member)

Hi Forum,

This is probably an easy one to answer.

Purchased 5 litres of apple juice from (concentrate) to see what the outcome would be like. Added 4 litres to glass demijohn at 22 centigrade(did not want to fill to the top just yet). Hydro reading is 1050. Added Youngs cider yeast (about 1/3 pack). Apple juice is 100g sugar per litre.

The yeast just sank to the bottom.

Shook and fitted airlock - same result

All the kits I have made from so far the yeast has always stayed at the top (I think - have never used glass before)

Should I be

a) worried
b) patient

Cheers
JH

b) patient

The yeast has started rising (very slowly) and about to get the first bubble ;-)

Hehehehehe I choose b.

Patience and brewing go hand in hand. Though not in my hand as I'm totally impatient.

Oh the answer is still b by the way!

I suffer the same problem and did exactly the same thing Jharper

I always assume i've done something wrong

Planning - first AG brew
In the Barrel - Golden Ale (woodfords)
In the Fermenter - Elderflower wine
Drinking - Nothing home made

How about a) worried about having to be b) patient.

The waiting is the hard part. :-)
