So today is day 7 of my bite grape peach wine. When I started the SG was 1.1 i measured it last night and the SG was 1, so i racked it over to the secondary last night and when I checked it this morning and there was no airlock activity. Is it ok to just let it age in the carboy? Is this normal?

Your are fine, sometimes there is never airlock activity during the secondary.

Since your SG was 1, there's still some sugar to ferement so there should be some airlock activity. It'll be very slow (probably 1 bubble each 15 minutes) so don't obsess with it. Just leave it there and let it bulk-age.

Good luck (I love grape-peach wine)
