6 week Vineco, amarone, grape skins kit
Followed the instructions as per normal, with the exception, I only added one of the Chitosan packs that came with the kit, I meant to add both but didn't.
After all steps were complete and the kit was ready for bottling on day 42, I decided to rack the wine, I was left with a white haze/film that was in a ring around the carboy, about 4-5 inches thick. This haze washed away very easily when I rinsed the carboy.
I consulted the dealer, he told me not to worry about it and that it would not return after my racking. I decided to rack it again last night and found that the same ring was there, maybe 1/2 thick this time. I am worried about what might be causing this, just checking if anyone has seen this before?
I also added the last pack of Chitosan last night as I thought it might help settle this materiel to the bottom of the carboy.
Any suggestions?
