What's growing on my wine?
Humm. So my current Cal Con wine kit (Merlot - finished secondary fermentation - waiting for me to do the next step) has some white speckles on top. It looks like something is growing.
Is this yeast? Something more sinister? Should I be worried?
I sterilised everything, but I guess there is always a possibility some bug got in and is growing?
Any advise?
Thanks,
Neil

Tastes like tractor fuel ..... so perfectly normal for this stage
A bit of a Google tells me that it should all be OK. The next stage (sulphates) will kill off anything minor growing.
But I've just noticed that the demi-john has a crack and about half has seemped out today
Somebody must be trying to tell me something about this particular kit!
