I lost my wine kit instructions for Cru Orchard Breezin' Mango Mint Chenin Blanc?!


Question: I lost my wine kit instructions for Cru Orchard Breezin' Mango Mint Chenin Blanc?
I started my wine 2 wks ago (as per the instructions), and somehow lost the instructions/directions. My SG started at 1.007 (if I remember correctly, I wrote it on the ppwk which is lost) and is now 1.000. I have NEVER made wine before and have no clue what to do next. The supplier is unavailable to help (they've moved) and I don't know what to do. I have all these packets, but no clue what order to add them, or what to do thereafter. I am making this as a wedding gift and can't exactly start over, nor do I want to. I don't even know if it's at the level it needs to be after the two weeks of fermentation (1.000)! Any help would be greatly appreciated. I cannot find a site with this brand's (Cru Orchard Breezin') info to allow me to finish the wine!!!

The air lock is tight and no action is continuing ? Is it still in Primary if so syphon off into carboy and add your stabilizer to kill yeast action and allow to settle then add fining's to clear . The air lock is tight and no action is continuing . The packets will be numbered or will be Potassium metabisulphate to finish off action and finings will be a powdered fish product or a clear liquid to allow clearing before filtering and possibly a preservative like citric acid to stabilize before bottling. There may also be a sweetener if so add after the stabilizer so as not to initiate new action.
If specific gravity is now at 1.000 it will not have any more sugar to convert and is as dry as it will get your starting was likely 1.070 the difference will give you the alcohol level .
