I racked my craisin wine from my primary bucket to 2 secondary 1 imperial gal carboys about a week ago. SG was at 1.020. Of course, I didn't stir before racking as there was a tremendous amount of sediment from the craisins. (I didn't use my 3 gal carboy because I thought there would be too much headspace left.)
I haven't taken SG readings from both carboys since but I have noticed that the one with the sediment still floating in it has more bloops in the airlock than the other one. Should I recombine the two into the 3 gal carboy, leaving the sediment in there and hope it fills the carboy? Or, just take some SG readings and hope there's enough yeast left in the 1st one to complete the fermentation?
If I recombine into the 3 gal carboy, I have nothing to fill that extra headspace if there is one.
Suggestions???
