Glad I found this forum, I'm learning a lot, thanks

The berry wine has been in the carboy for 4 days and the SG is .994! The rhubarb wines are less than .990. They've been in the 2nd rack for also 4 days. Honestly, I've never really used SG to do the fruit wines I make. I guess I better start. Why did they go so fast? What do I do now...
