I started a batch of sugar shine a while ago, it stopped bubbling. I took a brix reading and it was around 13% and I tried to see what the proof was it didnt register. This is my second attempt at shine. first batch came out great. Im not sure if its ready or I should do something else?

You need to take a hydrometer reading. It is the only way to tell if the mash is done fermenting.
Do you have one? If not they are only a few bucks.
You want to get a brewing hydrometer.

Usually I ferment down to 1.000 or below– but if it is at 1.010 or below you can be done. If you take a reading 2-3 days in a row and it has not changed you are definitely done.
What does your say?

So if I am reading this correct-
The starting Brix was 13 which is around 1.0526 in terms of specific gravity
the current specific gravity is 1.046if those numbers are correct it is saying that the mash did not fermented much.
does it look like this?

I would make another yeast starter with bread yeast and pitch it in.

Did you end up adding more yeast?
