I am (obviously) new to all of this - if my questions have been asked a hundred times before, I apologize.
1) Does a gallon batch ferment faster than large batches?
2) Is it unusual to see no bubbling in the airlock after the first racking?
I decided to start small and easy by using juice and only making a one gallon batch for my attempts at making wine. It seems to be done fermenting in the bucket after a few days and the specific gravity (usually in the neighborhood of 1.07) goes to .999 when the airlock stops bubbling.
3) Should I leave it in the primary fermenting bucket longer even though the hydrometer reading says its done?

Thanks in advance for tips and help.
