Thanks for the help. :D is it possible to over areate it tho? and will the air that i add possibly infect the still sugar rich/ low alcohol must?

I'm in. may the best brewer win,

I followed the recipe exactly except to add 1 tsp of yeast energizer, i used the minute maid lemonade cans described in the recipe list i believe, but i dont know if those have preservatives or not. i have tried repitching with wine yeast and there is still barely sign of activity. gravity...

I brewed a 5 gal batch of this last sunday, lowered temp to 76 and aerated the must for 30 min, OG was 77. Unfortunately, the yeast took 70 hours to show signs of fermentation, and the gravity this morning, 5 days after brewing, was 70. has anyone had this trouble before? thanks.

Thank you for the help :)

I have my Pious New World in the primary for 8 days and it has gone down to .017 and is now at 73 degress. when would be a good time to transfer it, if at all?

I transferred the beer when it went down to 1.022, but that was only 7 days. What kind of effect will this have on the beer compared to the recipe that says to keep the beer for 21 days in the primary? I am still planning on keeping it in the secondary for another 5 weeks though.
