    Stuck fermentation after racking

    There are many similar threads on this topic already, so not sure if creating a new thread is necessary (as opposed to posting in a existing one).

    Need help with stuck fermentation

    This is our second grape harvest on a smaller personal vineyard. We harvested 230lbs of Traminette on Sunday 8/18 which resulted in three 5-gallon carboys of pressed juice. We used Go Ferm for all, then QA23 yeast on 2 carboys, and K1-V1116 on 1 carboy. 1) The QA23 started fermenting...

    First racking - then stuck >:/

    So I'm one of those noobs in need of guidance. Thank you Wine Making Talk. I'm currently making my first wine. Actually, my first three wines (I decided to just go all in): An apple/rowan berry white/rose I started late September on Mangrove Jack’s MA33 yeast. Estimated 11 % abv. A red...
