Frustrating Blueberry Wine:I have made blueberry wines off and on for twenty years and never had one stick like this one, a varietal from 'Hannah's Choice'OG 1.106pectic enzymeYeast - Cote's de BlancEnergizer and nutrient added according to the staggered addition method.No additional sulfites.It was going well but stalled at 1.040, shortly after the second nutrient addition.Weekly attempts at revival included:Repitched w/ Champagne, no effect.Extra nutrient addition, no effect.Checked pH, was at 3.0, brought it up to 3.4, no effect.Brought temperature up to 70F, slight but unsustained effect. [i.e. no heat no effect]It has actually maintained an almost imperceptible ferment. What have I missed?
