I've tried looking for an answer to this, but I'm still not quite sure about my situation. Against my LBS's advice, I'm racking my 6 gal wine kits from the fermenter into 6 gal carboys. They suggested buying a 5 gal and then smaller jugs for the remained to avoid topping off with other wine.. My uncle did his that way, and I didn't like all the multiple sized jugs to store, siphoning into multiple containers, etc. Not to mention my uncle is storing all of his containers here!
Anyways! So here is my Cellar Classic RJ Barolo Bianco - tasted amazing when I racked it, by the way. I used one bottle of a like wine to top off, but it's still this low! Is this OK or should I grab another bottle? That head of bubbles is just about gone now, and the wine is sitting maybe a half an inch higher than you see there. Also, I never bulk age, I go right into bottles on day 42/ish. I'm not sure if that makes a difference on whether or not I top off since there'll be less time in the carboy.
