    High starting brix - stuck/slow fermentation

    I have dealt with high brix 27 and you need to deal with this problem right away.or you will be stuck with a sweet wine.www.morewine.com has a referment yeast ball you should use to finish your wine.It might take a few days for this stuff to come to you just keep your wine warm and use this product.
