I started a batch of sweet cherry using cherry concentrate from Coloma at a tad stronger than full strength combined with 5# of sugar. For a total of 6 gal
S.G was 1.114
Using a calibrated digital ph meter, it took 10 TBS of acid blend to get a 3.45 reading. That seemed like a lot of acid blend but that's what it took.
Pitched K1V116 yeast and fermentation started out nicely.
At day 9 the SG was 1.020
At day 11, still 1.020
added some nutes and energizer and continued to stir 3x daily
at day 13, still 1.020 – added a packet of EC1118
today is day 16 – no sign of restart and still 1.020 the ph is now 3.67
Temps have been between 68 and 72 F
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
