Default Concentrate Juice

Okay, good. Once your SG drops to below 1, your primary fermentation is
complete, so you won't see the vigorous bubbling you saw before. 12%
alcohol is good for bulk aging, so you're okay. You just need to rack when
there is a lot of lees at the bottom (top-up after racking), and as you do
this, the wine should clear over the next few months. Have you decided how
long you want to bulk age? With my batches using Welch's, I usually bulk
age for about 7 months before bottling. This usually includes 2 or 3
rackings, depending on how much sediment drops. If you can wait, this wine
will taste good at a year, but even better at a year and a half. If you
don't like a dry wine, you should stabilize, sweeten, wait at least 10 days,
before you bottle. Good-luck.
