Strawberry Wine Problem

[winemaker_3352]

So my strawberry wine was looking pretty good. I had already added f-pac, backsweetened, everything was doing well.

I racked again and added super kleer - and there was about half inch of sediment at the bottom - but i also noticed that the wine is now really cloudy and a much more deeper red color.

Not sure what happened or what is going on - it still smells good.

Not positive but I would say it likely just cloudy due to the racking and addition of clearing agents. Everything is falling back out again after bing disturbed. I'm sure others would have a better idea.

I'm on my first batch of strawberry now.

I am hoping that time will correct it - i have just never had this happen before.

All sounds good. Remember, wait at least 3-4 weeks after adding clearing agent so you have a firm layer of sediment. You will need multiple rackings as it can/will be hard to clear.

K - i may have been a bit premature then i the racking after adding clearing agent - it had been about a week and a half - but it had a very compact layer of sediment on the bottom.

So i will just give it some time - thanks!!
