Hello, I am so new you can't even call me a newby. Hubby and I found a lot of muscadine while camping and thought it would be a good idea to make some wine. After searching Pinterest (yep, I know) for Muscadine Wine I found this "recipe" and did the following. Into a clean 5 gallon pail I placed a pillowcase. After washing and removing all stems and such I crushed the fruit. I placed 3 quarts of crushed fruit along with 9 pounds of sugar and a package of yeast into the bucket. I placed a lid loosely on the bucket and stored at room temp. For 5 days I stirred the fruit on the 6th day I squeezed all the juice from the pillow case into the bucket. At this point the juice had no sediment or debris at all. I put this in a water bottle like you use in a water cooler with a stopper and an airlock. Everything I used was cleaned with PBW and sanitized with Star stan as directed. 3 days later I now have some stuff floating near the bottom. It's not powdery like Lee, kinda like floaties.. Sorry, I know this isnt very technical but it is how it is.. please help?
