Some good and some not so good news

Well 3 days later and both the wine and the Apple TC are bubbing away like mad. So these have both been topped up to just near the top and as you can see on the video below are fermenting nicely.



Unfortunately there seems to be a problem (I think) with the Apple, Blackberry and Cranberry TC. There has not been much visible activity at all and maybe has one small bubble every 5 minutes or so.
I added a bit more yeast to see if that would help, and despite that there isn't any life to it.
Looks like I have either not killed off the preservatives in the Blackcurrant juice by boiling it too quick or I have killed the yeast by not allowing it to cool down before mixing it in.
Will keep an eye on it over next couple days.. and hopefully it can be salvaged :)
