Buildup on top of wine in fermentation bucket

[rchessie]

Hey guys, I started a batch of country mist peach yesterday, and I have buildup on top of the wine in my fermentation bucket. I don't recall this happening last time. Is something wrong? Second batch ever

What's this "buildup" look like. Pictures? Is it foamy, chunky, clumpy, gooey? What's it smell like? We need more info!

It doesn't smell rotten. Kind of gooey...

Indeed it does. rchessie, does the recipe you are using call for stirring the must, or not? If it were me, I'd give it a good stirring to get that yeast back in there.
