I have two different wine kits going. A merlot that I racked from primary
into a carboy a couple of weeks ago and chianti that I just racked out of
the primary this evening.

I noticed bright pink sediment in the merlot about a week ago. Figured it
was probably normal. Then tonight, an hour after racking, I noticed similar
pink sediment in the chianti. Is this normal? What is it? My thought is
to leave each in the secondary for a few weeks before racking again. Does
the existence of the sediment indicate that I should change my plan and rack
sooner?

Thanks,
Dave
