I think I messed up my wine. I somehow got some airlock water into the wine, and now it looks like there is some particulate matter in the top of the carboy. Wine is about 5 days out from being racked after completing secondary ferm. i'm pissed. can someone tell me if I messed up my wine? not only are there two particles, but theres also like a little film in the water that is now present where it dripped into the wine.
i dont know if there was any sulfite solution in my airlock water. it may have just been water.
pics are here: http://picasaweb.google.com/strowheim/Wine_particle?authkey=Gv1sRgCOO1_MDk_8rtKQ#
you can see the particle in pics 1 and 6 and the film in the others.
any idea what this is? any way to get rid of it at this stage? again, 5 days out from racking... secondary LOOKS like it stopped, but no idea.
if this is bacteria, am I screwed??
