Hey!

I was brewing this raspberry wine, and I saw that there was this strange "gooey" foam/kruse forming on top. I was wondering if this was normal, because it looks a little bit gross, like mushroomy.

Thanks a lot, and sorry for the picture being a lilittle dark!

Better! :)

The pink stuff is either raspberry or brains. Maybe they escaped the bag? Looks fine!
 
Maybe it's brains! I thought it was raspberry too, but it looked really slimy, so at the same time I thought it wasn't gonna hurt posting it here for advice before anything bad happened :(

Thanks a lot!
 
I've had that exact same thing every time I've used raspberries - I think it's part of the fruit that gets through the mesh bag then somehow clumps together. The wine is always fine.

Edit - and it will eventually sink to the bottom and get left behind when you rack
