We forgot to watch the temperature, and fermentation reached killing temperature and got stuck. Can we re-start the fermentation by adding more Turbo Yeast?

No, when fermentation has reached 5%-7% alcohol it cannot be re-started with this yeast because the “chock ethanol tolerance” is exceeded. Very few yeasts can re-start a fermentation over 7% alcohol. Those who can are often Saccaromyces Bayanus strains (Turbo has a Saccharomyces Cerevisiae strain) that can be used for sparkling wines, Champagne, coolers etc.
