In mid-June I started a batch of plum-wine and everything seemed okay until after the first racking. Now something weird has happened. At least I think it is weird from what I've read, but this is my first batch of wine so it may not be.
When I first put the mix into the carboy it looked like a pink smoothie and over the course of the next two months or so it collected a layer of pink chalky sediment in the bottom as the rest of the jar got slowly more clear.
After the racking last month something different has been happening. Instead of collecting sediment in the bottom there is a layer of crystal clear wine on top of a pearly cloud layer. From what I can tell the cloud layer is slowly getting lower, but it isn't doing so evenly and the pearly look seems odd.
