Tropical Liqueur/Wine. help!!

i recently tried to measure the S.G. of a mixture i made a few days ago - viewtopic.php?f=39&t=17941 (original thread)

there seems to be a layer of sludge ontop of the mixture which has the likeness of a smoothie mixture. does anyone know what this could be? i measured my S.G. and it has dropped 0.015 since the last time i checked at the beggining. it is quite fizzy if i move the mixture at all, it seems to be letting off a lot of carbon-dixoide, am i doing this is all right ? will this be fine

Any help is welcome!

Cheers

Andy

Perfectly normal, the layer of ‘sludge’ is just the fruit pulp from the juices which is being carried to the top by the carbon dioxide. Give the jar a gentle swirl every now and then to get things mixed up again.

Oh, and quit poking it with a hydrometer, every time you do that is an opportunity for infection.

The yeasties are busy, leave them to get on with it :thumb:
