I just racked into a clean carboy. what should I do? Click to expand... Wait for it to finish? Make sure it's topped up so you don't have any headspace, and leave it be. I don't usually rack until my wine is at 1.020. If it still hasn't moved in a week or so, then maybe you'll need to pitch more yeast.
