4 week vino Italiano valpolicella..
My kit says after racking to secondary after 7 days (I have just done this) to not "top off" yet. It says to wait two weeks (when I add the Chems to clear the wine) before topping off. Everywhere else I have read says you MUST top off right away in secondary. Can someone explain the reasoning behind not doing it? When I transferred it was at 1.0 gravity.
