I bought three pails of Zinfandel- special body grape juice two weeks ago and the fermentation seems to have stopped. I have been constintently at 1.002 for a couple of days. Ideally it would be a fair bit dryer than it tastes right now and I would like to add yeast nutrient to restart the fermention, the only question is how much should I add?

Starting specific gravity 1.105
 
Whats the temp? S/B in the 70's
Read the label on your nutrient usually 1/2tsp per gal. No harm to adding this to the wine at this stage.
 
Sounds like it's stuck. I'm not sure nutrient will be enough to get it going, and at 1.002 could serve as a growth medium for unfriendlies.
