Oh Dear, is this fatal?

[Deaconbrau]

Hi All,
I noticed this stuff sitting on top of some raspberry and pear I brewed last September.
Is it as bad as I'm thinking?
Or is there something that I can do about it?
Any advice gratefully appreciated!
Pardon the photo. There are spots of rusty/pink scaly bits on top. Some splashed up the side as I hauled it out of the shed...

Have you opened one and had a smell or tasted it?

 

[Deaconbrau]

Not yet.
Will be running it past my resident taster later, Didn't want to poison her though...

Keep us posted.

Just tried it.
There's no smell (apart from raspberry) and it tastes nice!
Crisis? What crisis?
However, did have to dip a piece of kitchen roll in to clear the bits off the top.
Any thoughts on what that might be?

I haven't a clue but if it tastes and smells good i cannot see it doing you any harm, i have drank worse looking wines (usually due to my early syphoning technique) and it didnt do me any harm, i will wait and see if you come back tomorrow telling us you have the squits. :lol:

 

[Deaconbrau]

Ah.
I hadn't thought of that... :shock:

 

[Deaconbrau]

Pleased to report a squit free morning!
It must be good!
