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: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywY4aA7xy64 thanks for any input anyone might have!! -Reed |
