Christmas pudding mixture very moist prior to steaming. After 8 hours pudding still very soggy

Hello,
Have you left them to go completely cold? They won’t firm up until they re completely cold and then they will soften a little when you re-steam them.
Read through the recipe carefully again. Could you have left something out? Could you have added the wrong amount of one of the ingredients?
Could you have left out the eggs? Could you have added too much stout?
Did you add the juice of the orange and lemon? It should be just the zest.
The mixture usually needs a spot more stout so as you describe the uncooked mixture as wet I think you may have added too much liquid or left something out like the breadcrumbs or the flour.
