Default Pomegranate Wine update - 2nd racking

Three days ago, I added Kielosol and Chitosan, racked my pomegranate
wine into two one-gallon jugs, and put them away in an old 'fridge in the
garage at ambient temperature about 35 to 40F.
After racking, I still had a bit less than a quart of wine left over --
not enough to do anything but drink. I put it in the house 'fridge and let
it sit until last night. Still on the tart side of the taste level, I added
sugar before I put it away. Last night, the wine was perfectly clear to the
point where I could read labels on the other side of the Mason jar. The
color is a beautiful ruby red. The pomegranate taste is great. Now, all I
have to do is collect enought split size bottles over the next couple of
months.
I'm thinking about racking again in a month or so to get it off the
lees. I have some raw frozen pomegranate juice that I'm thinking of using to
top off the jugs. Anyone see any problem doing that?

No problem if you stabilize the wine against refermenting by potassium
sorbate - the juice will add some sugar.
