Did you boil off the preservatives in the Ribena? Without doing that you may find its hard to get the ferment going.

[WILDBREW]

I used ribena juice it as no preservatives in it,it's not like cordial.

Is that the pre-diluted cordial? or the 6% juice drink?

[WILDBREW]

it comes in 1lt cartons/ribena juice.
I think it's the 6% juice drink,i made 2 gallons and the fermenting was very good and i did not
boil the juice first.
