Again, adding acid is NEVER the answer for restarting a stuck fermentation. Adding acid will make a very sweet batch more drinkable as it will provide some flavor to balance against the sugar
With the high gravity you started with, D47 was never going to take it past about 1.030 even if you managed it with plenty of nutrients and optimal conditions.
When you pitched in the EC-1118, unless you acclimated the yeast to the conditions of the must, the high level of alcohol and residual sugar in there simply stunned them into unconsciousness. If you didn't acclimate the yeast, check the sticky at the top of the forum and read Hightest's instructions for restarting a stuck fermentation. If you have more EC-1118 you can use it, but if you can get Uvaferm 43, that is the most reliable re-start yeast you can get.
Prior to pitching the acclimated starter, treat each batch with 1 g/gal of yeast hulls to bind potential toxins, and after pitching, aerate well. I'd make sure the pH strips are working by testing with a little diluted vinegar - they are notorious for being inaccurate if they get old.
If the repitch with acclimated yeast does not work, there are still some options:
1) Pasteurize the must and re-pitch. For some reason, pasteurizing will make the must much more fermentable, though I don't believe the reason for this has be elucidated.
2) Or, start a new batch of mead with a hearty yeast like EC-1118 with a modest gravity, and when the yeast are about 1/2 way through, start blending in your stuck batch (1 or more of them). Then newly vigorous fermentation can often get the job finished (sort of like a really huge starter).
3) If none of these things work, you can make a dry batch with about 12-14% ABV, and take the bone dry batch and blend it with your stuck batches to bring the sugar level to a place where you are happier.
As long as they don't have spoilage, there is no reason to consider throwing them out.
Endeavor to persevere!
