2nd nutrient and energizer addition

[Val-the-Brew-Gal]

I've never exactly followed the Skeeter Pee recipe to the letter in that I've not done the second addition of nutrient and energizer. I have always made a hybrid SP/DP 6 gallon batch with 11 pounds of sugar and so, in the past, it had fermented just fine without it. However, after my last stuck fermentation when making a lime version, I'm a bit paranoid so thought I would follow directions and add them. But now I've missed the target 1.050 and it's currently 1.036. My question is, is it too late to add the nutrient and energizer now?

Probably. You don't want to add extra nutrients late in the ferment. The yeast can't use them now, but they will be left behind in your wine and other stuff might really like to use them to grow.
