beaverdale help

[carol1970]

hi all, I am going on holiday on friday for 2 weeks, my problem is I have a 1 gallon beaverdale chardonnay it has been reading .992 for three days so it is time to stabilise. I then need to leave it for 3 to 4 days shaking it , then add first finnings then next day add second. which would be fine, but it then says it should clear in 3 to 7 days and then take it off the yeast sediment, would it be ok for to leave it on the sediment fo 2 weeks or will this spoil the wine.
thanks

Personally speaking, I'd just stabilise it now, then rack it to get it off the lees, and then finish my packing.

Also when you get back, there'd be no great rush to get it sorted - another week or so wouldn't matter as you'd have racked it off the lees before you went away, and it's the sitting on the lees that could cause your wine to go manky.
