I made my first batch of wine in February. An apple cider wine. I've been drinking it and I thought it was fine. I poured a glass the other day and didn't finish the last sip. The next morning I was taking the glass to the kitchen and, don't know why, but I drank it. I think it's just a habit when there is a wine glass in my hand... anyway, it tasted spoiled... I spit it out.
So, a few days later I grabbed a bottle to give to a friend and noticed a wispy white sediment, almost smoke-like, in the bottle.
My questions are, should I dump all of this out, do you know what it is, and any thoughts as to where I went wrong? I felt like I cleaned the bottles and all my equipment way more than I really needed to.
