First time posting question - four days ago I purchased two "fresh juice" kits from a local store. Both were AUS (cab sav and cab shiraz) Day one I brought the wine home and added yeast. I am fairly certain, althogh not 100 % positive, this step was done properly. Day four I went to check SG and both had and white/grey mould on top and on the sides. The Cab/shiraz was much worst then the cab sav. I went to the local store and his suggestion was to scoop off the mould clear a spot in the center of the wine and insert tube to siphon wine into carboy. There were no directions to add anything else. Does this sound right?
As an aside his directions for makeing the wine from fresh juice were
Day one add yeast Day four approx (1020-1030 SG) transfer to carboy After 60 days transfer to carboy and top up with commercial wine After another sixty day bottle and drink
any comments on this approach?
Your help is much appreciated. Thanks.
