Unfortunately i cant fit a 5 gal carboy in my frig either.

Is there a way to get it to stop fermenting? Tried it on Thanksgiving and boy it was a little sweet but good. Getting anxious to bottle and start drinking?

Added sugar to back sweeten more and it started fermenting again. What should have I done to prevent this? It doesn't hurt if it ferments again? Do I need to let it sit again& clear?
