Strange Sediment

[kirbyclk]

Hello, this is my first post to this forum. I am hoping you guys can help me with this.

I started a gallon of Pineapple/Orange from frozen concentrate and after primary, there is a lot of weird, chunky sediment. Even after transferring into the glass carboy, there is a huge amount of sediment on the bottom.

Attached is a picture of the wine 24 hours after it was transferred into the secondary.

Does anyone have any idea what this sediment is and why there is so much, so soon? I have made other batches of wine from frozen concentrate with good results and never have seen this much sediment.

I have blogged about this batch of wine and other at ckirby.com/wine for more info on the batch of wine.

Thank you!!

Each different fruit will have different levels of sediment and the pulpier the fruit the more sediment there will be. Yeasts can have a big to do with this also as some flocculate much more then others. Is this still fermenting? if not it may be time to rack off as you have quite a bit of solids and then can spoil.

I think you've come up with a recipe for home-made salmon eggs. Package those bad boys up and you can sell them to trout fishermen.
