Sorry for all the questions. In my kit, the one listed below with skins, the instructions say to let it fermentate to a SG of 1.020 in the primary, at 1.020 rack to a carboy, witch I did this morning. Its still fermentating in there. I have to wait till it hits 1.000, the instructions say around day 28. The way it's going. ill hit 1.000 by this friday. Why do they have you racking it, why don't they just let it get to 1.000 in the primary? Here is my bad timing. This saturday im going away for a week. Because it took 3 days to start the fermentation, I lost some day here. My question is, if it hits 1.000 by friday, ill rack back to the primary, and add the sulphite and sobate, stir, then add the kieselsol and chitosan and stir like the instuctions say to do. If its not at the SG of 1.000 by friday, I will have to leave it for 1 week. Will this harm anything? am I just better off waiting till I get back in a week, check SG and if at 1.000 do the above as the instructions say? This way I can do what I read in the other tread about adding the sulphite and sobate oneday, then the rest the next day? Thanks guys again, John
