Hi all, I have a question about fermenting. I am working on a WE Riesling Ice Wine Kit.

11/08 - I pitched the yeast. SG was at 1.160 which matched the directions in the Kit.

11/15 - SG reached 1.080 and I racked into the Secondary

11/18 - SG is now at 1.060

The directions state to leave it int he secondary for 5 to 7 days. It has only been 3 days and the wine is now at 1.060 which is also the stabilizing SG.

Should I end the party for the yeast and head to stabilization? I wasnt expecting to hit this stage for a couple of more days. It has been warn the last two days and i think ambient temps were at 75 F.

Thank you,
Adam
 
Don't be in a rush. Don't move to stabilizing until the sg is constant for 3 days or so. That means that fermentation is complete.
