Overdosed yeast nutrient … is there a cure?

[jkep...@gmail.com]

I made a stupid mistake dosing yeast nutrient in my latest fermentation. 

I’m trying my hand at making cider out of some late harvest russets.  The juice is quite acidic, sg 1058. 9 days ago, I absent-mindedly measured my yeast nutrients in tablespoons rather than teaspoons , so the 5 gallon bucket got 4tbsp instead of the 1-2 it should have. 

This led to quite a primary fermentation (to sg1002  in 9 days)but now after racking today I am noticing minimal activity in most of my car boys.  One is bubbling away - this was from the one bucket that had the least amount of YAN because I ran out (wonder why🤔)

So… this fermentation has gone way too fast and the yeast seems to be almost  inactive now. 

Is there an easy fix? Would appreciate any advice. 

Thanks,

Julie

What kind of cider are you trying to make? Totally dry? Still? Naturally carbonated? What kind of bottles are you using?

Personally I would not mind if it got stuck at 1.002....
