was the first time I saw this white layer in this container, I found it previously on a <a href=\"\/index.php\/2010\/02\/04\/more-infection-problems\/\"> smaller bottle<\/a> of this merlot as well as on a small bottle of petite sirah.\u00a0 But, again, there were no off-odors when I checked it, so I decided to try to rack it away again and hope it was nothing major.<\/p>\n<p>When I moved the

very clear and had no off-odors or strange flavors.\u00a0 Hopefully this means whatever that is on top is not something that will harm the wine.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

inspection of the other carboys revealed another layer forming on a 6-gallon carboy of the petite sirah.\u00a0 This layer was not as thick as the one on the merlot, but I racked it off also to be
