I started this kit on April 23.SG 1.092 75 degrees F
Racked to Secondary After 6 days SG down to 1.008 (75 degrees F).Just 4 days later SG .0994 Temp up to (83 degrees)
Had a brew belt on it from begining, and temp in my basement went up 10 degrees in 1 day.I lowered temp down to 78 with wet towels.got very worried with heat so high.
Wine seem to have stopped fermenting.
I have two questions, kit instructions say approx 28 days stabilize and clearing.Should I stabilize now or wait a little longer.Also should I Top up now since no more signs of fermention.Instructions says to top up with water.I always topped up with wine.I'm sorry for such a long post but want to do the right thing.This is a Cellar Classic winery series kit
