No, you can take specific gravity reading before or after filtering. Since filtering doesn't remove any of the sugar, it will be the same.I was worrying I was going to have bottle bombs or something . The gavity is 1.018 , the instructions say to be between 1.010-1.018 depending on the kit. Does it make a difference that I filtered it and then took gavity ? Since I'm worry about it could I check the gavity in a day to see if it changed ? Sorry for all the questions .
If you've used your chems properly, and since you have filtered, you should have very clear wine. The only question is whether or not you still have CO2 in the wine. If you don't, and it's been a few days since you added your fpack, bottling should be safe.So I'm good to bottle , right ? Sorry I have anxiety and lot sleep about in for two days . I don't need wait a day or so and take another reading to make sure it's the same ? Is the a possibility of refementing in the bottles ? I used sorbate and metiphisuite before the F-pack ,just worry that I didn't check to see if fermintaion was done if I'm going to have fermintaion in the bottles .
Yes I added the F pack and it said to wait 2 weeks but it's over 3 weeks because I was trying to figure out if it was ok to bottle . What do you mean by about C02 being gone ? I did degas it .If you've used your chems properly, and since you have filtered, you should have very clear wine. The only question is whether or not you still have CO2 in the wine.

Since it's been a few weeks, you're fine on the refermentation issue. If you degassed using an electric vacuum pump, or multiple vacuum rackings, your wine is probably adequately degassed. If you stirred with a spoon or used a drill mounted stirrer, you should check your wine for gas before bottling, as the carbonation will not dissipate in the bottle. Residual CO2 will leave your wine fizzy and may also affect the taste.Yes I added the F pack and it said to wait 2 weeks but it's over 3 weeks because I was trying to figure out if it was ok to bottle .

If you got the poof, you got the gas.I did it with a full bottle of wine and I got the "puff" but it didn't spray
