So this one has some odd circumstances behind it... about a couple weeks ago I made EdWort's Bavarian Hefeweizen and after racking it out dumped 6 gallons of cider right onto that yeast cake (Wyeast 3068--Weihenstephaner). Both brews came out great, but then I decided to save the lees so I could repitch into another batch of cider since I heard you could do that a couple of times without the yeast conking out. So about 5 days ago I pitched the saved yeast into 5 gallons of fresh apple cider and then... nothing. I was impatient and pitched right into cold cider from the supermarket, but I did that last time as well and everything turned out fine after about 2 days. But I've seen no action from the airlock and my current SG is 1.042. I figure the fermentation is stuck... any thoughts on how to fix it?
