attempting to make one gal of cranberry juice mead, but fermentation is stuck with a SG of 1.15 and ph of about 3. temp is 72 deg F. the recipe comes from a little purple booklet called "Winemaker's Recipe Handbook". here are the ingredients:
2.5 qts juice; 1.5 qts water; 1.25 lb sugar; 2.5 tsp acid blend; .5 tsp pectic enzyme; .5 tsp energizer; 1 campden crushed; 1 pkg wine yeast (Lalvin D47).
because this recipe was only a gal, i didnt put in an entire pkg (which seems to be for 5gal). have stirred everyday. i did add a little more yeast this morning, but basically nothing has happened during the past 4 days. its in a bucket with a (not airtight) cover.
any suggestions?
