Thick Sludgy Stuff

[Shubit Innn]

I've had a quick search of the forums about the thick sludge on the top of the wine but cant find an answer about kits that are meant to be brewed in one vessel
The Wine now requires degassing, but do I really want to stir this back in or should I try and remove it ?, if so how ?

It looks like the krausen (spelling?) its supposed to be there at the initial ferment. You need to rack it off into a secondary carbouy which will leave most of that behind. In another 3 weeks (depending on your kit), you should be able to bottle it (which will remove any other sediments....

The Kit is one of those 10 day jobbies that is designed to be done all in the same vessel, Think i'll have a go at removing it this evening with a spatula

10 day wine? Does it have packages of other additives?

It looks normal to me and i wouldn't do that unless the instructions tell you to, when you degas it will break it up then when you add the finings it'll settle to the bottom ready for bottling.
