This is day 6 and I've seen the airlock have enough pressure for a single bubble.

I've given this a shake every day. Photo 1 is a couple hours after shaking it on the night of day 5. Photo 2 is the morning of day 6.

Also, I don't recall there being this much lease buildup so quickly in the batch I made of this previously.

I'm having the thought of adding a packet of yeast via a small amount of warmish water and an ounce of honey to kick off a yeast colony before dumping it in.

Thoughts? Ideas? Concerns?

Built this lovely lady last night but, no bubbling through the airlock in 24 hours.

I've made this recipe before but, this 1 Gal recipe I've scaled down from the 5 Gal I made a couple years ago. Turned out good, then. Only fluttered the juice ration from 35% OJ to 50% OJ

The only things not mentioned on that recipe are;

- Everything was sanitized very well,

- I mixed the yeast with 60ml water at 98°F (Canadian, sorry eh?) for 10 mins before adding to the mix,

- She got a real good shaking,

- And, I can't remember if the honey was pasteurized or not. I've been outta the game for the last couple years.

My current guess is too much acidity in the orange juice increase for the yeast to thrive?

Apologies for the spelling errors in Fermaid K, Cinnamon, and Lalvin, I got my brother-in-law to write it down as we made it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
