Hello all,
I've gone through several posts on white haze, but I can't really find the answer I'm looking for.
I bottled some Riesling and shortly afterwards I noticed when handling the bottles a white swirl of stuff was moving around in the bottle. It settles at the bottom, but I was wondering a few things.
1. Is it safe for me to drink? Before I noticed it, I had drank a half of bottle and it was in the fridge a few days and I came back and looked at it and it had developed growths in the bottom of the bottle. I'm assuming these are protien growths of some sort?
2. I did not use Bentonite, but i did use sparkaloid (or however you spell it).
3. What could I have done different? I know it's hard to comment with little information.
The wine actually tastes great, it's unfortunate I can't give it away to all my friends to enjoy.. which was the point.
Next year..
