I'm totally stumped
I bought a Vintner's Reserve Beaujolais. OG 1.076, FG .0090. I
fermented and secondaried in 7 gal buckets. I followed all
instructions to the letter except omitting the sorbate. I stirred well
when I added the chitosan and sulphite.
I am due to bottle soon so I snuck a peak today to see if it had
cleared and there is a fine "curd" covering the top of the wine. It
wasn't there before I added the sulphite, etc. There was a very large
head of foam on the wine when I covered it up after adding the
remaining chem's. The wine itself is full of suspended particles. I
looks like the wine has coagulated. It tastes okay. I'm stumped as to
what this is and what I can do about it.
Please give me your thoughts on how to save this batch.
