I transferred a red wine into secondary last night and I decided to dump everything from the fermenter down the drain and strain the oak chips out to throw out. On the side of my carboy and on the oak chips I noticed what looked like sand. It was clear and I could crush it with my teeth. The wine is a red of unknown variety that I made from a concentrate that was given to me. Is this normal?
