Hi,
I have a lemonade that has stalled. Here are the particulars
October 23, 2011: added slurry of two yeast packs. Reading was 1.080
November 12, 2011: racked to Carboy. Reading was 1.036. Racked a bit early as I was going to be away from home for a while.
December 2, 1011: reading is still 1.036. Lots of bubbles in the wine thief when I took a sample.
I have not stirred since it's in the Carboy but I have shaken the Carboy a couple of times.
I tasted it on December 2, 2011 and it has a bit if yeast taste and it is starting to taste dry a bit.
Should I stir to try to get it going again? As is, I would say it's at about 5% alcohol which is ok for us. Maybe I should rack it off the lees and let it clear??
What do you think?
