thanx for the quick reply guys,
in order, heres what happened to the 5.5gals
1- pitched yeast ( premium Cuvee) on 4-5-13 temp was 74.9 degrees, inactive for 20hrs, SG 1.0545
2- on 4-8-13, racked into carboy, SG 1.000 ( thats where the SG sat for 3 days) never had 1 stuck before so i assumed it wasnt gonna go lower, minor activity after racking, needed at least .996 at 73 degrees, panic
3- racked on 4-27-13 SG was 1.018 and again appeared stuck -mild panic starting to set in, oh well added f-pack and clarifier, and sorbate to carboy
4- racked again 5-17-13, clearing nicely, very sweet SG 1.021 and holding, clear enough to bottle , but since its in a 6.5 gal carboy i dont what it in too long with the space of 02 on top for fear of spoilage. final temp mantained was 73 degrees
hope that gives ya an idea of if and where i went wrong
yes i have heard that i could add a " like wine" to it, or some kind of hard liquor
