I'm interested in any organization for promoting the brewing and 
consumption of mead.  Are there any New Mexicans interested in  
getting together and exchanging mead lore and expertise?

Ok.  I had five 5-gallon carboys started over the same weekend.  Kept at the sam 
e temperature, same location, given the same car 
and so forth.  One of the batches has mysteriously gone still. 

Tupelo honey & Epernay II yeast.  It was dropping down quite nicely 
until it hit about 6% alcohol potential remaining (SG 1.050) and it's 
been there for well over a week.  No bubbles, no nothing.  I re-racked 
into a fresh carboy with new yeast, yeast energizer, as well as some  
nutrient.  Nada.  Nothing.  Zip. 

I can certainly use the stuff in its present form as a rather sweet  
still mead, but I'd prefer to kick it back into action and bottle it 
sparkling. 

So...any new and improved ideas on jumpstarting a batch?
