Hi all, I am wondering if you can help me with my next stage.

Primary fermentation is almost over, one reads 1009 and the other reads 1005.

However, as you can see, the levels are low with quite a bit of sediment in the bottom. I have some fresh AJ that I pressed yesterday. Can I decant into a DJ later this week and just add that AJ to top it up? If not, what are my other alternatives?

(My plan is to decant to fresh DJs, then leave for several weeks. Once matured, I'll bottle (adding sugar to a couple to try making them fizzy).

I will not be around from Thursday for just over one week, so I am playing cautious as I'm not sure I can just leave the DJ in its current state that long once fermentation has completed.

Any advice welcome!
