I started a batch of wine its day 8 and the SG has stopped at 1.010 and hasnt moved in 48 hours any ideas as to what to do?

Not any ideas based on the information given so far.
Could you give us a few more clues? Like what your are making, what your starting sg was, what you have done so far, yeast you used.

Right now all I could do is guess.

What is the temp?

 

[kb3dmy]

temp about 72 ec-1118 yeast and quad berry mix starting SG was 1.110 done the normal stir twice a day check SG twice a day nothing out of the normal

Did you rehydrate the yeast, did you add any nutrients?

 

[kb3dmy]

yes and yes used yeast nutrient,enegizer and peptic enzyme

If it doesn't move for three days I would repitch.

 

[kb3dmy]

repitch? you mean toss out?

 

[heatherd]

Definitely not! I mean add more yeast.

 

[kb3dmy]

Oh....ok just checked it again today it moved a point or so.

I don't know how you like your wine, but quadberry or similar fruit to me is good at 1.010. Looks like you're at 13% abv right now. I wouldn't do anything to it. If it stops here it would be about right. If not, you will need to backsweeten to tame the high abv. I think you will be ok.

I was thinking the same thing but just didn't post it. Taste it, if it taste good don't worry about getting to 1.000 or lower.

Many times when you get towards the end of a ferment, it slows way down. Seems like we see more posts about things like this in the fall and early winter. Think temp. swings have a lot to do with it. Arne.
