      I have a batch of wine that is made up of bakers yeast 4 cups sugar and one 12oz can frozen grape concentrate. I have then in milk jugs with balloons on top poked with pin holes. I have done with before and it worked fine, but this time it seems to be taking way to long to be ready to drink. I started them on 11/3 and its already 12/21. What gives the balloons are still up and bubbles are still rising. What can I do to speed up the prosses and for it to take less time the next time I do the next batch? Thanks!

      Have you taken a hydrometer reading? It is possible they are finished.

      I don’t have a hydrometer but is it possible they could still be ready even with bubbles still rising and the balloons still not deflated?

      For sure. Sometimes air just gets trapped inside of airlocks. I’d pickup a brewing hydrometer at a local homebrew shop or online. They are under $10 and will let you know for sure when fermentation is finished.
