Makes sense I have been leaving headspace, Do you think the wine is ruined then?

Yes I added acid blend to the must before I pitched the yeast. It doesn't look like slime, It's hard to describe I wish I could get some pics up :( To be honest I don't know how it could have got an infection, everything was sanitized with bleach and the fruit was boiled long enough that...

It isn't really oily that is just the way I would describe the films appearance, what I mean by that is the way it's settled on top looks very much like how oil looks when it is suspended on top of a liquid. I would add pictures but I haven't been able to put any on here for some reason. I had...
