Hmm still no luck. I even pulled a little out and created a starter with a little water and sugar. When it got going, i added a little of the must to it. It kept working for a little while, so I added more... Then nothing. I'm not sure why it stopped. I'm thinking of adding even more water and more nutrient to see if it will take off again.

Thought I would update you all to my progress. The separate sample that I have started seems to be going slower and slower, the more wine I add to it. Even when it is fully fermented. I'm almost to half a gallon now.

I decided to test the acid becuase I don't know what else it could be. I found the acid is very high. It tested around .90-.95%. I'm using a fairly new acid kit that is maybe a month old.

I'm begining to wonder if the acid is too high for the sample. Maybe I should test the PH to?

I wonder if I dropped some calcium carbonate in there if it might begin to start fermenting again.... as it is the primary is sitting at 1.02 and the 'starter sample' is currently sitting at 1.01. I'll recheck it tonight and see if the sample drops any.

I tried to write to WE but thier website wont let you put that many characters in a letter to them. Does anyone have a direct email for them?

Thanks,
