Hi Everyone,
This is my first post here. I am making wine for the second time. This time I also dropped grape stems. I pressed them around 40 days ago. Taking off the lid and stirring once everyday.
But after about a month from pressing, I realized there is a white layer on top of barrel. I started taking of lid, twice every day and stirring the content.
Everything was done water-free and sanitized.
I want to know what the white layer could be? and is it unhealthy or damaging to wine?
Also if there is a problem with having grape stems in it also?
Thanks in advance
*****UPD******
I have not used any additives, and I am making red wine.
