This is my first shot at wine making. I started an apple wine in my primary fermenter 6 days ago. The temp was a little cool (65) and today it was finally ready to move to the secondary fermenter. I racked it over and discovered I could only fill the jug about 3/4 the way full! I'm only making a 1 gallon test batch so I can't just go get a smaller secondary.
Should I top it off with water? Apple cider? Leave it alone? I tasted a small sample and it tasted pretty good, still a bit sweet but I think that was to be expected.
The starting S.G. was about 0.1085 and now it's about 1.015. The yeast is Red Star Montrachet.
