I have an IM Wildberry Shiriz and it has been stuck for the past four
days. The S.G. is 1.000 and there she sits!!! Has not moved
at all. I know the instructions say to wait until it reaches .996
for 2 consecutive days BUT -----

do I wait or add ingretients in the F-pack now? I tarted a IM
White Merlot and Shiriz and the Merlot is now at .996 and will be again
tomarrow BUT the Shiriz ???? The temperature in the wine room
stays at 65 degrees 24/7. Any advise would be appreciated.



Thanx

I think you will be fine to go ahead and move on with it rrawhide.
 
It should be OK if it hasen't moved in a few days at all. They tend to be a little on the sweet side of finish, so the little extra shouldn't hurt. Have you followed instructions all the way, or did you alter it such as adding sugar, etc? If you added sugar, the yeast may have just reached it's alcohol tolerance limit and quit a little early. You probably should also add the complete f-pack to get the proper full amount of sorbate, etc so it can't restart.
 
Thanx guys



I'll getter done!!! have a great day - every day is a good day some are just better than others!!
