Stirring must or rack

[homer]

What's better, leave white must in the buckets, that was started Monday, for a few extra days without stirring or rack it to a carboy early? bk

How many days extra? Rack early at what sg?

It depends on the type of wine and what method you are using. if you still have pulp in the primary it should be stirred.
Apparently you will be away and not able to stir the must, If the must has the color and body you would expect, than it is okay to rack and reattach an airlock. When racking early into a carboy I do not try to rack off the lees, but rather leave some go into the carboy, Maybe 30% or so.

If you are making a White Wine, you should have started with just juice (no skins and stuff). A few extra days in the primary shouldn't hurt anything. Daily stirring is only desirable when you have fruit pieces you want to keep from sitting on top and drying out.
