Hi, first post, I have made a few wines with no issues but...
I was given a wad of Plums so I checked my book (cj Berry), squished my plums added the boiling water then when it was cool I added the pectic enzyme, stirred after a day and checked today (day 3)
The problem I may have is there was a white scum on the top and a smell of nail varnish!
Is this normal?
I have removed the scum and strained the pulp but I dont want to move on if it is scrap.
I was thinking that the scum and the smell was the pectic enzyme as there hasn't really been time for mould to grow. IMHO
Any advice welcome.
Paul. :wha:
