Hi all, Just want to say that reading the posts and all the excellent answers posted on this site has been a great help to me as I have just set my first batch of wine a few days ago. I have 5 gallons (23L) of Advintage Moments Merlot that I started in my primary fermenter 6 days ago. SG was 1090 before adding the yeast. I got a great fermentation process started on day 1 and this lasted for 5 days. On day 5 the Gravity should have read between 1.020 an 1.000 but my batch read 0.992 and all the Fermentation (bubbling in the airlock) seemed to have stopped. I racked it to my better Bottle carboy and put the airlock on it. The problem is that I havent had any more bubbling and I seem to have reached the final gravity in just 5 days. It says in the instructions to leave it for 8 - 10 days before racking again and adding the Metabisulphite, Kieselsol and Chitosan. But as my gravity reading already is at 0.992 should I just add the Metabisulphite, Kieselsol and Chitosan or should i wait 8-10 days before doing so? Any help is much appreciated.
