Raisins to back energize a stuck fermentation

[bellinmi88]

I have a 1 gallon batch of hard cider made from the following:
2 Quarts of Motts 100% Apple Juice
2 Quarts of Juicy Juice Cherry Juice (which is mostly Apple juice)
4 ounces of Light DME
1/2 packet of S-04

Seems like after 4 - 5 days of active fermenting it is stuck. I have not taken a gravity reading.

Would adding some raisins help to energize the yeast or is it pretty much a waste of time at this point?

take a gravity reading and get back to us. it could be done

S-04/05 work really fast, it might be done initial fermentation.

Raisins will most likely house wild yeast. Is that what you really want in there?

How do you know it's "stuck" if you haven't taken a gravity reading? That's the ONLY way to know what's going on.....
