Rice & raisin wine advice

[xpers]

I am in the process of making this recipe below:

http://www.harvington.org.uk/hic/riceandraisinwine.html

It has been in the bucket for two weeks and I have just strained it into a demijohn. The problem is with all that rice and raisin in there when I strained it into the demijohn it was only about 60% full, even though I had followed the recipe. In the end I thought there is nothing else I can do but top it up with water and hope for the best.

Has anyone else made this wine, or perhaps has a similar problem with other wines with a lot of bulk fruit pulp etc?

Did I do the right thing in topping up with water? I thought there was just way to much air space in there to leave it.

By topping up you dilute the strength and flavour.... but you would get three bottles out of a 60% full DJ.... its one of those things you just have to do one or the other. I would have topped up too for what its worth.
If you have that problem again maybe top up with 1/2 water and 1/2 whit grape juice. At least that way you are putting some flavour and sugar in to get back towards your original wine?
Good luck with the brew.
