I started a sparkling wine and didn't have trouble getting in going .The starting SG was 1.084 when it dropped to Sg - 1,010 I put it in the carboy as instructed . That was on March 24 been checking as it went along and it hadn't dropped just stuck around 1.008 .After I tried stirring and shaking it around nothing happened . So April 3 ,Saturday I added a pinch of yeast EC-1118 to see if it help it finish off .Well I checked it today and the SG is at 1.010 so now what I guess I'll have to do is just wait to see if drops .I checked 3 others wines & the SG are where they are suppose to be so it's not because my hydrometer is reading it wrong ..Any ideas why it happened ? It's nice & clear . I don't understand why adding yeast would make it go up ,I didn't add any sugar .
Just a note I used the slurry from it to start another wine made from bottled juice and it's going fine .It's time to stablize it already .
