2 1/2 gallons of food processed pears, juice alone SG 1.050 then added 2 campden tablets
i had to let it sit for 3 days then SG read 1.035
Then i added sugar without filling bucket up with water yet, brought it up to 1.090
boiled water enough to fill bucket. added about 6 pounds of sugar and mixed. after it cooled SG read 1.085
Then i pitched the yeast without stirring.
24 hours later i pushed the pulp down and covered and repeated every day..
NOW... the problem. Day 4 of stirring, i take a SG reading and get 1.085.
Should i add more yeast? it smells good, like strong wine.
