I double dosed my 14 gallon batch of Apple pie wine with yeast nutrient, bimonium phosphate. 5 tbsp day 2 and 4 tbsp day 4.
So i still have no energizer in it.
2 1/4 packages of Cotes du blanc yeast. fermentation is going strong.
What are my possible consequences and solutions?
Should I add my energizer tomorrow after I get it?
Should I expect an algae bloom?
 
OK, I'll tkae off my gas mask, get out of the rv and put my clothes back on,,
 
No need to add yeast energizer. And when you're using nutrient, you should be aware that nutrients with high levels of nitrogen shouldn't be used after the 50% dry stage because the yeast can't utilize it and it makes a good environment for spoilage organisms. Get your doses of nutrient into the must before the 50% dry mark.
