LP says it should be fine. Here goes. Thanks for the responses.

Definitely not glass shards or crystals, but thick milky looking. I looked for a number to call LP, but didn’t see one. I’ll dig a little more and give them a call. Thank you

Several months ago I purchased two FWKs, a Merlot Forte, and a Moscato Tavola. I made the Merlot, which I am very pleased with, and is now bottled, and aging. The Moscato was refrigerated at 35 degrees during this time; today I opened the kit and the juice looks as if it has separated. The...

Finally started the Merlot kit this past Saturday. Daytime temperatures are in the 70s. Pitched yeast Sunday morning, Monday morning it was going crazy. I punched and stirred this evening, still going crazy. I’ve never done a yeast starter before, will definitely do again. I followed the...

This is my first experience, but very pleased so far.

I used finning agents,

I reracked back into a carboy, going to let it sit a few more weeks.
