I have been making country wines from all kinds of fruit for many years, usually from fruit i can pick in the wild or purchase at local supermarkets but i have never seen this before.
I have 3 gallons of mixed fruit wine in 3 separate demijohns which is in its 3rd week of fermentation. Quite a large sediment has dropped and the top is starting to clear however a very lively reaction to something is taking place. A handful of sediment rises to the top and then almost explodes when it hits the surface before then falling back to the bottom only to repeat this every 30 seconds or so. Can anyone help on this and state what might be causing it ?
I took the usual pre fermentation recommendations and added pectic enzyme, citric acid, bentonite, campden tablet, tannin and yeast nutrient 24 hours before adding the yeast starter.
Any advice welcome
