I started two 1 gal batches 8 days ago with 3# raw Texas honey in each. One was Blood Orange using D-47 with SNA and a SG of 1.083. Checked this morning and the SG is 0.997. Second batch was Lingonberry (dried berries and a Lingonberry concentrate) and used 71B-1122 with SNA. Starting SG was 1.086 and today it is 1.000. I plan on adding 1 oz bitter orange peel (which has been steeping in vodka for a week) and half a Vanilla pod to the Blood Orange, and another 8-10 oz of the Lingonberry concentrate along with 1# crushed frozen/thawed cranberries to the Lingonberry. Sorry for the long story but my question is, seeing how it appears the yeasties have done their job, is it too soon to rack off the lees and into a secondary and add the secondary ingredients?
