My blueberry wine has quit working with a sg of 1.050. Temp of wine is 78 degrees. Should I add another pack of yeast or should I add fermax yeast nutrient ? I used red star cote des blancs.
 
As above. Keep the must warm. Add yeast nutriant
 
Also the sg has been the same for the last two weeks.

Sounds stuck to me. Most likely you can restart by following the restart guidelines.

One other thing I read which is not in Jack's blog, sometimes just one packet of ec-1118 is not enough for a restart. Maybe one and a half. I am not sure about this but I did read it.
 
I have been watching it a little closer. I'm now getting 1 bubble thru my airlock about every 5 seconds and now I got some bubbles on top. Maybe its coming back. Should I add some nutrient at this point to help out ? Should I dissolve it in water before adding or just pit in in as a powder.
