Yeast compound and it was 3 days ago

I started brewing elderflower wine last week, I think I made a mistake, after filtering in to a demijohn after 4 days, i added yeast, no pectolase, as it reacted with natural yeast? So its just sunk to bottom and very little bubbles or fermenting happening. Can it be recovered? Please help

I have got 5kg of rhubarb to make wine, what I am wondering is how much sugar to Use? I have seen recipes for 1kg Rhubarb to to 1 kg sugar, thinking do I just times mine by 5? Also how much can I expect to make in Litres? Never done this wine before.

I have made a few from Waitrose juices, especially like grape & peach also apple and raspberry were nice too,must get more on the go. I use 3 litres of juice topped up with disolved sugar water.

I bought one last month, Kegged Lager brew seems fine,half gone now, so I topped up with co2 for a bit more gas.

I tried a reading today, said 1.002. Tastes quite nice slightly cloudy and a good head, needs a slow pour from keg. I won't be so impatient next time, might try an IPA next.

Guess I got too impatient.
