I am making a cranberry wine now with roughly 3 lbs per gallon. I
didn't add any acid blend. When I made cranberry wine from Ocean Spray
cranberry juice, it was crazy tart with acid blend thrown in. I'm not
so sure why fermentation isn't starting because I've had no problem. I
pitched dried Pasteur Red yeast after the fermenter had cooled over
night (I steeped the berries with hot water).

Fermentation was noticeable 12 hours after pitching, although it wasn't
aggressive by any means. Did you use any treated water?
