Watermelon recipe

[CoyoteRob]

I tried making watermelon mash following Kyles’ recipe. After two days of good bubbling the mash turned milky pink. The rasins are floating on top with a little bit of a red raft. It is still bubbling slowly. Is there something wrong? Will it clear?
Thanks

It will clear with time-
let it ferment out- it will take a few days to weeks to totally clear.
To really help with the clearing once it is done fermenting cold crash the fermenter.

What I suggest is letting it ferment out totally- should take a few days.
once it is done fermenting cold crash if you can
After it cold crashes use an auto-siphon to transfer to the still if you are going to run it- or transfer to another carboy if you are going to let it sit longer-

this is how much yeast is usually left behind-

Thank you I was getting nervous. Cold crash with an ice bath around the carboy?
