Re: Cranberry
Check & double check the pH levels. Cranberries can be quite acidic to start with. Trying to ferment them likely will require pH adjustment.

Re: Cranberry
They also contain chemical compounds that may slow or inhibit bacterial and microbal growth.
In my experience they ferment slow even with ph correction.

Re: Cranberry
I've found cranberry ferments very well with a little bit of DAP and brown sugar.
I actually just had a 5 gallon batch finish up about 4 days ago to 1.00, the whole fermentation process took less than a week, either 5 or 6 days.
