The chances are it's got too cold for the yeast, bring it into a warmer room and it should pick up again :)

I don't like working when it's too hot, and I tend to get stressed or make more mistakes.

I don't like working when it's too cold, and I slow right down.

Yeasties are no different.

There are yeasts which work at higher or lower temperatures but most of them work best around 20°C.

Cold won't kill them, just slows them down or sends them to sleep, so do as Frogfurlong said.

On the other hand, take a hydrometer reading and see if they could have finished already.

ask nicely and you will get advice

That's what we're here for, never hesitate to ask, the only stupid question is the one you didn't ask if a brew ends up down the drain.

Before I found the t'interweb I must have thrown out gallons upon gallons of "bad" wine.
Then I started to research online and found most problems have a fix, somewhere... although I'm sure the drain will still be fed at times :lol:


Web sites, Buletin boards (remember them?) and now forums like this are fantastic for advice, hints, tips and socialising with other winemakers and brewers across the globe.

I think PD was refering to the "magic word", *please* is easy to type and gets a lot more interest
