I started my Black Currant/Cherry wine one week ago 7-26-09. I mixed one can of Black Currant and one can of Cherry Vinters Harvest. I followed all the directions and my initial SG was 1.091. The can says to rack the wine once the SG hits 1.040 or below and top off. So on Sunday 8-2 the SG was 1.031 so I racked to the carboy and topped off. The next step says to wait 4 weeks then add claifier and rack again and wait 2-3 months. Then it says wine can be consumed after aging.
My question is did I screw up by topping off because:
1. I had wine in my air lock this morning
2. Do i de-gas and if soI guess i will have to transfer it to a primary to have room for expansion.
When do i de-gas? My experience is oneWE kit and I was trying to do the same things. Any help would be appreciated.Sorry for long post just trying to give all info. Thanks Adam
