Hey all,
I am making my very first batch of wine from a kit. It has been going
well until last night. I dumped in the metabisulphite, sorbate, and
clarifier per the instructions. I stirred everything in the carboy
with one of those spoon paddles attached to a drill. It foamed up
pretty good, but went down and I topped it off. I noticed there was a
lot of "debris" floating in the wine. Now, this morning there is this
floating stuff and then this big clump of brown crap at the top and it
does not look healthy. It almost looks like curdled chocolate milk or
something would be the best way to describe it.
So, what did I do or is it supposed to look like this or do I just get
rid of that stuff when I rack it for the last time in eight days after
its cleared?
I took a video of it if it helps anyone with a diagnosis:
