Hello everyone,
This is my first post here. I did not find the answer I was looking for by searching the threads or the web so I was hoping you guys and gals can help me out.
I had made wine with my dad for years but never a white wine, so when I moved in with my lady, she wanted to learn how to make wine, and of course...white wine. SO I went ahead and got 12 Gal of Lodi Gold Pinot Grigio. Made myself a slurry, dropped into the pales and stirred the pales once a day for about 3 days.
I then proceeded to rack them into a 15 gall heavy plastic barrel my dad has been using for years. I waited for it get happy, until there SG got to about 1.005ish (I can't remember exactly what it was. I am at work and posting so bare with me.)
So I racked the white into some fresh carboys and noticed that it almost has a greenish/brown tint and not clear at ALL. Is this normal as it is still young or is this something that needs attention.
The last time I checked the temp of the wine was around 68 degrees, if this matters.
Your help is GREATLY appreciated.
