Im already into my first wine kit and was confused as to when I was suppose to rack into secondary fermenter. Instructions specified at approx day 6-8 at an SG of 1.020 or less, rack to secondary. At day 5 however i was already sitting at an SG of 1.000. I left it until day 6 before racking (SG 0.999). Instructions now state at day 20 to begin clearing and stabilizing when SG is below 0.998. It is now currently at day 11 and I'm already at 0.998. Fermentation is progressing faster than what's stated in the instructions, should I be racking and progressing through each step based on SG? Or try and balance it between time specified as well as SG? Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks
