Instructions suggest bottling after four weeks (it's a four week kit) after racking it into the primary fermenter if I choose not to filter (which is what I have chosen- have not had good experiences with filter pads- that's a different story). Would there be a problem with racking and bulk...

So it is a Cab/Sauv from a kit. I have added clearing agents Meta bisulphate, floksol/keisosol. Did the whole degassing/vigorous stirring thing, and let it sit in the basement as it is a little cooler down there (this really helped with the settling I found). Does this information help you a bit
