Hello and welcome back,
I was gong to wait another day to rack to the secondary but when I got home I check the specific gravity and it was at 1.030 so it was time to rack.
I racked 1 gal into a clean and sanitized 1 gal carboy and refit air lock on carboy, In the primary I still had about 1/2 gal of must to do something with, It was too much to rack into wine bottles for further fermentation, and not enough for another 1 gal carboy, I guess this is the reason most seasoned wine makers have many different sizes of carboys available.
I decided that I could make up another 1/2 gal of sugar water and add it to the existing must, I adjusted the SG to 1.095 and refit the airlock on the primary for a second batch.
This batch will be a little weaker, I think, but it should still be drinkable in the end. So instead of making 1 batch now I am making 2, I guess this means another trip to the wine store for more supplies. keep reading.
