How strange is this. I hope everyone says it's common. After racking my sangiovese wine, I went to clean the syphoning tube and old carboy. Odd that the water had a blue-ish tint to it. My assumption and hope is that its because something in the sediment has a blue base color or maybe it's the grapes natural die coming out. Anybody else experience this.
Also, I was under the impression that if I used isinglas, clearing should take 2-3 weeks. From the looks of my wine, it's going to be way longer.
 
I use oxy clean and it will turn red wine blue once it comes in contact with it.
