Willie,
If you rack it carefully you will get at least 4.5 gallons of wine; you
need to let it sit and settle once it's done fermenting. You don't
need to do all that stirring once you quit adding sugar.

You already got good answers from Bryan as to the other questions; as
to the potassium metabisulfite once it's done fermenting let it settle
for a few days and rack it. You will know it's time when the
appearance changes from cloudy to 'clearer'. Add 1/4 TEASPOON to 5
gallons. (That is the biggest mistake people usually make, they add
way too much sulfite because they remember 1/4 but use a tablespoon...)


You want to let it settle out and rack again once it's clear. Once it
looks clean enough for you, add two teaspoons of potassium sorbate
right before you bottle it. The sorbate allows you to sweeten to taste
before you bottle, you can add as much sugar as you want as long as
it's not fermenting at all; sorbate won't stop it from fermenting.

Always keep it topped up like you have it now and add the same amount
of sulfite each rack and you should be good. Don't rack unless you
have a good reason to either.
