Drat......

2 gals of my cherry mead stopped fermenting too early.
1.040........I had used Lalvin D-47, and tried to jumpstart by adding some Lalvin EC-1118 and nutrient.
Going is veeery slow..........Thinking about dumping both gals into a porter brew,and go for broke.

For something like that it may be good to just get a couple cheap 1 gallon glass carboys, rack into them, add a gram of ec-1118 to them. Airlock them and put them in a closet and forget about them. Then start a new batch and try to adjust the process or recipe to keep from having the same problem. After another 6 months to a year or so dig up the melomels and see what happened.

Try adding some yeast nutrient/energizer (dissolved in boiled & cooled water) & give them a GENTLE swirl. Don't add dry powder to the mead, you might get an eruption. Also, make sure the temp is within the temp range of the yeast.

Did every thing except boil and cool the water.........

But that's alright.........I made a Hybrid / bastardized brew for my Christmas ale.......Going to turn out great.
