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

RDC

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

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

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.

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....

Paul
(a man living very close to the edge..)

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.

First of all when you first caped it with the airlock, at what level was the
contents.
One should normally not fill above the rim of the demijohn.
However seeing as you have a gusher you may consider splitting your batch,
and then when all
as settled down retuning to the original container.

The problem that faces anybody is how much liquid to put in at the start, I
usually
don't exceed 3/4 of the demijohn (1 gallon glass jar ),this allows for
adding other items,
water, sugar etc. And the problem you have encountered.

Started with 7 pints in the demijohn. (It holds just under 9 if you fill
right to the brim)

Nope, UK pints

It actually holds 8.7 pints if you go right to the top.

Wilkos own demijohn.
