So I decided to start a pear wine using canned pears that were in pear juice. I blended the pears in a blender which I will never do ever again because it created so much pulp in the wine. I am a beginner so I wasn't sure how the yeast would handle the pulp. I thought maybe they'd eat it but it looks like they separated the pulp from the rest of the must. I have a very clear wine with no sediment at the bottom and a bunch of left over product floating at the top. I've read that leaving fruit in the wine will create off flavors and to remove it as soon as possible. Should I rack it right away or let it settle for a month or two? Any suggestions?

When did you start this and what is the surrent sg reading? Floating pulp usually means its still fermenting. No need to rack yet if it is.
