Hi,

just started off a kit of black cherry and it has gone a bit mad! Overnight
the fermentation has been vigorous to say the least and I have now got a
reddy purple pattern all over my kitchen work surface.

My question is, is this a problem or should I just leave it to settle down?

thanks

Not a problem, and it should settle down. You might want to put something
under your fermentation bucket next time so nothing gets stained.

At least yours was on the kitchen work surface..... I have a lovely carrot
wine all over the edge of my partners new woollen rug....doh. At the moment
I have managed to hide it by putting the jar onto a large plasic tray (o the
wonders of hind sight...). I feel that when she finds it my short wine
making days may be over...
Anyone have any ideas how to get wine out of a new woollen rug....PLEASE....

I hope it slows down soon... there is only so much mopping up I can do!

If it is a wool rug, then I would check with a dry cleaner. You don't want
to shrink the rug. You might check to see if it is even washable...?
Good-luck.

If I have one that is making a mess, then I put paper towel underneath the
bucket. Wait a second...are you fermenting in a glass carboy with a bung
and airlock? or are you fermenting in a plastic bucket with a cover?

I am fermenting in a glass demijohn with bung and airlock. The goo was
coming right through the airlock.

That happened to me with the watermelon wine I started a couple months
ago. First time I've had anything ferment that violently at first

Okay, that's what I kind of thought. I basically do 1 gallon batches, so I
did start out doing a primary fermentation in a glass carboy with a bung and
airlock. And yes, that would happen - the stuff would go right out of the
bung and go all over. Recently, I bought this 2 gallon glass container,
which I cover with plastic & rubberband during the primary ferment, and I
don't have a problem with big messes anymore. This container is big enough
to include fruit when I'm fermenting on fruit.
