So I was brewing a melomel with strawberries I put about 3 pounds of honey into it and 5 pounds of smashed strawberries it violently fermented for like 4 days
then it abruptly stopped, I had a move and didn't touch it for several months, there was a ton of mucky strawberry gunk settled to the bottom and it was really nice red color today I filtered out all the muck and squeezed the juice out of the muck, now i'm a brewing newb so I assumed it was too sugary and the yeast died and i would referment with a champagne yeast (I was using lalvin d-45)
after straining out the muck witch made the melomel turn brown till it settles =( i tested the gravity and it read 1.000 which i'm pretty sure means its done but i was wondering if anybody here could potentially give me some insight into this
