I started a batch of the Carmel apple cider about a week ago og was 1.060, checked it 2 days ago was 1.040, went to check it last night opened the bucket and there was tan colored stuff floating in it ,it was kind of chunky and clumped together didn't have a smell to it was kind of sludgy. As I was taking the sample the stuff would gradually sink to the bottom. the sg was 1.oo5 or so so I added the sorbate and metabisulphite like the label said gave it a stir, fizzed some as I stirred. it closed it back up this was about 930pm got up this morning around 915am and noticed the airlock was still bubbling opened it up and again this substance was on top noticed it kind of smelled yeasty added another dose of sorbate and here I am don't know if it is yeast or infected or what any help would be appreciated thanks
