SP Still Fermenting after 5 weeks?

[TheBoz]

I need some help, I'm making my first batch of Skeeter Pee. I followed the instructions from the SP website. Instead of slurry, I used a yeast starter with Lalvin EC-1118.

It's been fermenting 5 weeks at 78deg. What should I do or What an I doing wrong? I started to other wine kits at the same time both are in the bottles now. At this rate it looks like three days to drop 0.020, it will take another month to ferment dry. Seems strange to me.

SG readings
8/25 - 1.065 (starting SG)
8/31 - 1.054 (added third bottle of lemon juice, yeast nutrient and super-ferment)
9/12 - 1.030 (added more super-ferment and nutrient)
9/20 - 1.020
9/24 - 1.016 (added more super-ferment)
9/27 - 1.014

Thanks,
Phil

As long as the S.G. continues to drop you're good. Continue to monitor it.

A slow ferment can actually be good as it doesnt burn through the esters and leaves you with more flavor. As long as there is no off smells or flavors you are fine.
