am pondering now coz I dont' know what to do Confused

I used a different Rhubarb Wine recipe, it involved leaving the fruit in the bucket after adding the yeast, then leaving it to ferment in the bucket for a week before straining into a demijohn.

Have just strained into the demijohns ( thats 2 coz I doubled up to make 2 gallons), and, I seem to be about a third of a gallon short of liquid Shocked ..............can I top up or is it too late coz its already been fermenting for a week or should I just leave it and be a couple of bottles short Confused ....decision decisions, not my strong point Embarassed Embarassed Laughing
