Ok, so I'm still new-ish at making wine, and the best one I've made is a "skittles wine".
Very unconventional, but I've done it several times and it is a big hit.
This time I did it like normal but I think I racked it too soon from the secondary even thow it wasn't ready. I let it set a month or so and it didn't really move so I racked it again and pitched more yeast. I let it set a little longer cause it is colder in my basement, about 61°(which is why I don't make wine in the winter). I went to take a reading and what I collected is almost a clear liquid, like it separated. I could see a cloudy haze about 6 inches of the top but the reflection of the bottom made it look semi-normal. Until I took some out to take a reading. It is still very sweet, reading at like 1.100.
I did the mad sciencest approch and tasted the clear liquid and it tastes like simple syrup.
This has never happened before. What happened and is it ruined?
A picture of the liquid is attached.
