Made peach wine for the first time. My first fermentation seemed to go well. I racked the wine after a week of initial fermentation. Second fermentation seemed to be going good till today which would be only the fourth day there very little activity in the air lock. Room temperature has been an average of 70° and dry. Is it normal for the yeast to become inactive this quick?

fermentation
Thank you. Like I stated it was peach wine not water wine lol. Just starting to get serious about wine making didn't check the gravity. My question was simple just wanted to know if anyone could give me an idea if it was normal for the yeast to go dormant in peach wine after the 4th day of fermentation.
15 lbs peaches 5 lbs of sugar 1 gallon water and brewers yeast.

Just FYI, that is Dr. CAD's permanent signature; it was not aimed at you specifically.
As he says, the best/only way to know if it is finished is via SG readings.
A hydrometer is pretty much essential to making wine. You can get one online for about $8.00.

That will help you know when your wines have fermented completely.

Hope everyone had a good holiday season. I cracked open the peach wine on New years eve. It actually came out rather sweet with a bit of a bite .
Thank you all for the input earlier in the season. This year coming up I'm going to try apple and pear wine I also picked up a keg I'm going to convert into a distillery and try making a little malted corn whiskey.
