SG under 1.00 in less than a week?

[colauhu]

Is it unusual for a wine to go through primary fermentation from 1.095 and have an SG of 0.098 in less than a week? Here's my story. I made a wine with 9 quarts of crabapple juice, and the rest of the juice was apple concentrate with water and sugar to bring the SG up to 1.095. Added the usual cast of characters (used EC-118 yeast). Three or four days very vigorous fermentation. Then it stopped so I took a reading and it was at 0.098! Seems awfully fast for the fermentation to have completed already. I racked it and put the airlock on. No signs of C02 release (the airlock is dormant). I did put 5 crushed up Campden tablets in the 5 gallon carboy. Just unions if I messed something up or should I just ride it out? It's only my second batch.

Thanks for any insight anybody might have.

Yes, most of the time the wine will reach .990 or so (not 0.098, as that's not possible, I think you mean .998) in 5 days or so.

Depends on which side of the decimal point they decide to put it on!
