Hello
My problem is where I live wine-making is a banned practice, so I cannot get my hands on some wine yeast, I have tried raising raisin yeast which is considered wild yeast, I guess? I just used some unwashed raisins and let it soak in sugarwater for 5 days.
Now I am trying my first apple wine, the raisins yeast water is very active, it starts filling an small balloon very fast, I also have some bread yeast which is also active, which one should I use? and I'm using fast methods I dont wanna wait for over 3 weeks,Ive seen people on youtube making apple wine in less than a month, I dont want my fermenter to become a home to barteria, I dont like tart apple wines. is that always the case with raisins yeast? tart and full of bacteria?
