I have two different wine kits going. A merlot that I racked from primary into a carboy a couple of weeks ago and chianti that I just racked out of the primary this evening.
I noticed bright pink sediment in the merlot about a week ago. Figured it was probably normal. Then tonight, an hour after racking, I noticed similar pink sediment in the chianti. Is this normal? What is it? My thought is to leave each in the secondary for a few weeks before racking again. Does the existence of the sediment indicate that I should change my plan and rack sooner?
Thanks, Dave
