Hey all -- I am a total newbie here so please bear with me...
Last week I took the plunge and started my first wine - a WinExpert Kit.
I am watching it in my primary and trying to take notes of what I see -- today when I looked in the primary, I noticed that there are a few small white specs floating on top of the juice. The juice smelled good (a fruity, "winey" smell to my untrained nose)
I made sure I washed all equipment and sanitized it before I started. I have also kept the primary covered with the lid and a few days ago I observed good bubbling that reminded me of alka-seltzer....
Should I be concerned with the white float-ees, or is that normal as the fermentation deminishes and the yeast starts to die off?
Thank You
