I am making a strawberry wine (I am a beginner) and made a must, added the chemicals and campden. Let it sit 24 hours, then added yeast. I got home tonight and it had a very thick foam on it and the straining bag was inflated. I stirred the wine, degassing it as it had tons of gas, and then I got the following result, these clumps seem like they may dissolve if I stirred it enough but not sure if there is something bad going on.
The must smells like strawberries and yeast, no off smells.

Looks good, Phil. Just be sure to punch the bag down twice a day to keep the strawberries wet.
 
It looked much better tonight, I puched down this morning and it was better, and back to the milkly fizzy pink tonighy, san-clumps. I also tasted just a little, bit yeasty (as expected) but REALLY good flavor.
