Hi everyone I hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving. Last month I made some apricot wine, something I have never tried before. When I put it in the secondary it fermented to dry in about two weeks. After three weeks I racked and filtered it off the lees then I poured in a cup of honey dissolved in some of the wine. I expected it would restart but it did not. It has been sitting in a 6gal. carboy for about a month and I am concerned about its color. It has turned brown; about the color of weak tea near the top and the color darkens as you go down with it being the color of dark cinnamon at the bottom. Is this a normal color for apricot wine? I thought it would stay the pale yellow color it was when I racked it to the carboy. I am a beginner and I am just beginning to learn about acid testing so at this point the acid has never been tested or adjusted. I doubt that oxidation could be an issue because I have a good air lock and the wine has not been exposed to air except when it was racked,( I did not degas). I am not at home to be able to refer to my notes so I can't give you the exact recipe I followed to make this wine but it was pretty standard and included the usual items such as campden tabs, acid blend, yeast nutrient, energizer, grape tannin etc. When I racked the wine it was 72 degrees with a sg 1.002. Thanking you in advance for your help and advice..Merle
