Brand new winemaker here.
Doing my 1st batches from grapes i have been growing for 4 years. Doing a 3 gallon red batch and a 3 gallon red batch.
I was racking my red batch and i was way over zealous with my 1 step cleaner/sanitizer. The bucket, the racking tube, the carboy all probobly had some undisolved crystals adhered to them after dumping prior to racking. After racking i noted increased cloudyness and debree at the top of the carboy. I reracked and upong attempted degassing i noticed a soapy froth. Rinsing the just used carboy revealed that yep, i got 1 step into the wine.
Is there anyway to remove it, or is the batch junk? I am now certain thete is a bunch in there, how much i dont know, but there definitely is a substantial amount.
Advice???
And thanks
