On 7/31 I finally got to crush my previously frozen 26 lbs of muscadines.
Put into primary with 3 teaspoons of K-meta.
Next day checked S.G. at 1.095 and stirred in 5 teaspoons of yeast nutrient.
Hydrated a pack of Lalvin 71B-1122. Yeast hydrated well and was active when added to the must.
Stirred each day and on fifth day removed grapes and crushed to juice.
S.G. has not moved from 1.095 since.
Taste is good sweet and color is good.
Fear that I have a stuck fermentation here.
This is my first experience with grapes, so I need a little help in executing my next move.
Do I need a yeast energizer or another packet of yeast?
Hate to loose this nice six gallons of goodness.
Thanks
