Fermenting stopped after a day.

Ok so I have searched here and all over the interweb and found nothing. Im sure its there Im just not finding it. Here is my issue.

EDIT:Im using a 6 gallon mix. I used 3 oz distilling yeast and 1 small pack of red star champagne yeast.

1st run-Started everything Friday night. I used peaches and about 2lbs of sugar. Blended the peaches and put them in a clean bucket. Heated water and melted sugar in it. Started the yeast like it said to on the packet. Once it was nice and bubbly I added it very slowly while mixing then sealed it with a air lock. Before I went to bed I checked it and the lock was bubbling nicely. Sat it had slowed a bit so I shook the bucket for a while and the bubbling picked up. By Sunday it had stopped. I tried shaking the bucket and nothing happened. It was dead.

2nd run-(started yesterday at about 6PM)I used a recipe I found on the home site here using high grain feed and sugar. I covered the bucked with 4 inches of grain added hot water and 5 lbs sugar then more hot water and mixed forever until it had cooled enough so it wouldn't kill the yeast. This time I used distillers yeast from the brew market. I also tossed in a 6oz can of tomato paste and juice from half a lemon. Started it like it said just like I did the last time. this time the lock was bubbling like crazy. This morning it had slowed but it was still bubbling nicely. By the time I got home tonight it had stopped. I stirred it a bit and it is bubbling again. I also added another packet of red star champagne yeast in a last ditch effort to keep it going the long enough to ferment properly. I am planning on leaving the lid off tonight and stirring periodically to keep O2 in the mix until tomorrow night when I will seal it again.

I know I should use DAP but I have seen stories where people just use corn meal sugar and water and have no issues. I have a thermometer in the bucket and its at 28C. So from what I have heard it is in the right range. I keep it in my little laundry room where the temp dosnt change and it gets no breeze or sun or anything.

Sorry for the long post. I want to get all the info in so I can get a good answer. I would like to figure this out on my own because Im sure its in the forum but I cant find anything and I dont want to waste this batch so Im reaching out. Thank you for any help you may have.
