Anybody know if this is good or bad?

That's pretty scary, we need more information though. What finings did you use? Did you mix 2 or more fining agents? Did you see the movie "Alien"? Steve

LOL. It does look like a creature from a 1950's B movie doesn't it? It was a 2 part fining. You add the small sachet of clear liquid first and stir it in then leave it for an hour before stirring in the larger sachet of clear gloop. If the wine's lost, it isn't a major problem as it hasn't cost me anything other than time. All the fruit came from local hedgerows in the countryside near my house.

That looks like mother of vinegar.

It looks like some reaction from the 2 parts of the fining agent. Are you sure it didn't say 24 hours between parts? Regardless, I'd rack the wine from underneath the blob and give it a taste. It's most likely fine. Steve

That's what I thought. Oh well, if that's what it is, I'll be able to make a nice salad dressing for the summer barbecues next year, LOL.

Definitely said 1 hour. I just dug the packet out of the bin to check. It smells fine. Smells mighty string in fact. I'll do as yu suggest and rack it off to see if it clears any.

looks like it didnnt get stirred in enought and the sediment floated instad of sank.

did it clear?

looks good otherwise

Didn't clear - well, not yet. I syphoned off the wine from below the monster into a clean demijohn, and put it out into the shed where it's cold. I'm going to give it time to let it clear the old fashioned way now, as this expeience has sort of scared me off using finings. looks good otherwise
