I did a wine kit that said the first racking should be anytime after the SG went to 1.020 or lower but NOT (their caps) before.

What's magic about 1.020SG?

Its at the point where fermentation isnt that vigorous that it will overflow your carboy but still produce enough C02 to protect your wine. Its also just vigorous enough to carry over most of the yeast because its still in suspension.
 
Wasn't there a show about 91020 on tv a while back?
Geez, I can't even belive it. I realize the numbers I just typed are transposed.
