I started wine in a 19-litre carboy, with a mix of kit wine extract and my own juice. I left a LOT of headspace, planning to top it up on day 3-4 with juice that had the same original gravity as what's in the carboy. (1.078).
Real life intervened and it's now day 8, and fermentation is mostly complete. I still want to top it up so I have three options:
1. Water, which will make the wine weaker than what I wanted.
2. Juice with water added so that its SG is 1.078
3. #2 but with some extra yeast - but the problem is that I have no more of the yeast I used: I only have some generic wine yeast.
Is option 2 the best? I don't want a stuck fermentation!
