Racked the 2 vats.  Vat 1 = Carboy 1 / Vat 2 = Carboy 3 / Mixed remains of Vat 1 & 2 to make Carboy 2.  Added water to the three carboys to top up and added 5 half teaspoons of Yeast Energizer to each carboy.  Yeast immediately reenergized.  Tried to take a hydrometer reading by it went under completely.
