I read the winexpert link about mixing up the sediment and then adding the
fining agent, but I have never done this (none of my kits were ever winexpert
kits though).
I happen to have a Niagara Mist on the go, so I have the Vineco Niagara Mist
instructions. They really leave out racking for the most part and if you read
them to the letter, the only time you rack (and leave sediment behind) is after
the primary fermentation. They say to degass after the seccondary (add
sulphite) and then a few days later add the sorbate, F pack and fining agent.
Looks like the typical short cut instructions to get a wine out in 28 days and
no more.
If you can see clearly through the carboy, I would say rack it as you have
suggested, leave the sediment behind and then add the FPack, sorbate, fining as
per instructions. Maybe let it sit a few weeks longer, and I am sure you will
have no problem. It's a low alcohol fruit wine, so they are consumable early
on instead of bulk or bottle aging, but why keep all that sediment around?
