I am making another batch of Single Malt Apple, 15gal ferment barrel with the below ingredients/Off the Grain. My wort started at 1.070 sugar, PH 5.4. on last Thursday. I pitched the yeast at 90deg but without Nutrients as I have before. Added Nutrients a couple days later when I got some, as it seemed to be going slow. Then Sunday it seemed the fermenting stopped completely at 1.030 sugar, PH 4.0. So I added some more yeast, only Red Star DAD yeast this time. And it has not done a thing since then. Doesn't smell bad or look bad. Not sure how to work this.
Where am I going wrong?
