Hi Everyone,
I've been lurking the site for a while and just started my first wine kit. I purchased the CC Showcase Red Mountain Cab kit and am on days 10-12 in the instructions.
Everything has gone smoothly up until yesterday when I racked it from the primary to a glass carboy. My SG was .998. The wine tasted and smelled fine when I racked it over but as soon as I added the enzyme blend packet it started to foam quickly so I put a bung on and let it settle down. It's been less than 12 hours and some strange solids have formed at the top of the carboy. I am hoping it is just skins from the grape pack that rose to the top. I have attached a picture. Any idea what this is and what my next steps should be. I made sure everything was sanitized well with starsan prior to racking. I am using an S type airlock.
Thanks for your help.
