Is that the carboy it's in ? If it is you got too much headspace for one and it looks like it's just fermenting. What was the sg at the beginning and now? Are you keeping it stirred? Was this made from fresh fruit or something like vintners harvest? Too much missing info here take us threw all the steps. Again it looks like it's just fermenting but if this was made with fresh fruit meta should of been added 24 hrs before yeast how does it smell and taste? Don't throw it out this early in the game!
I agree with barbiek - too little info and what we do have is confusing. What date did you pitch the yeast? Is the pictured vessel a cup with a small sample of your must, or is that the whole thing? If it is a very small batch, I guess there is little harm in throwing it out and starting over, but figure out what went wrong so you can avoid the same mistake. Apple juice is pretty cheap, but I find it leaves something to be desired after fermenting.
Also, never use a metal container on apple, it's too high in certain acids.
I also agree with the other posters, need more info.
well, i'd like to provide more complete info.
this wine was made with fresh fruit, but it's my bad not adding kmeta before pitch the yeast. i used papaya peel to substitute pectic enzyme, it's just about 1/4 medium sized papaya, minced. i let it sit 24 hrs with the must, covered with cloth. it was on 24th May.
i used bread yeast here, as winemaking is not common in my country. i activated 1 tbsp yeast into lukewarm water and let it sit for 5-7 mins.
after pitch the yeast on 25th May, i stirred the must twice a day for the first 2 days. i let the first fermentation for 4 days (until 28th May) then i poured the must to the carboy.
yeah, i learned here, i has used wrong size of carboy. 6 liters carboy for 1 liter the must. i'm replacing the carboy after this.
the second fermentation lasted for 2 weeks and 2 days. i racked to another carboy on 13th June. the first white film was clearly visible on 22nd June. i added kmeta and citric acid on 23rd June.
it now appears again since 29th June.
i believe the fermentation has stopped, the airlock is not bubbling since racking. unfortunately, i don't have hydrometer yet, i'm buying it
please give me some cheat to win the game
it is not fermenting. what you have is a surface bacteria because of how much oxygen in carboy plus a incorrect ph. Rack into a vessel closer to one liter. add at least 1/4 tsp of K meta. this is stronger than normal but it is required to kill the bacteria. check the ph and if not in range of 3.3-3.4 add malic acid to porper range. failure to add the kmeta will allow the bacteria to convert the alcohol in wine to water. not good.
i'm replacing the carboy and add the kmeta after this. should i attach an airlock right after adding kmeta? or let it covered with cloth for 24 hrs then attach an airlock?
regarding the acid, can i still use citric instead of malic?
