If the bubbling has slowed down considerably from when you started it and there's a decent amount of sediment, then I'd rack it.

1.006 is still a sweet wine, so when to rack is entirely down to your own tastes and how you like your wine. If it was mine I would leave it for at least another week and let it drop below the 1.000

The 3-day rule doesn't apply to wine.

How did you desolve the sugar?

really moley didnt know that ty matey.

So how do you know when it stops or are you looking for your own FG then stopping it.

And if you have the same day for 3 days does this mean it can start again?
