I just moved my peach/white grape juice wine into the secondary fementer (6 gal plus 1 gal). The SG was equal to -0.996! I put in the yeast on Sunday evening, had an SG of 1.04 on Thursday evening and it was -0.996 on Saturday morning when I moved it to the secondary. I started at SG of 1.095 (I was at 1.085 before the pectic enzyme...live and learn).
Two questions: is this an unusually fast ferment, and second did I do any harm to the wine in leaving the must in the primary until that low of SG?

Thanks,
 
Since it hasn't been degassed you should have plenty of CO2 in it still. You'll be fine!
And different factors affect speed. But this isn't unheard of.
