I accidentally stirred all the lees into my wine during first racking. Now (1 day later) secondary has lots (+1cm) of sediment. Should I rack again?

Making some kiwi wine (exciting!). When transferring from primary to secondary getting the fruit pulp was a bit of a mess and I inevitably stirred all the lees into the wine. Now, after only 1 day in the secondary there is lots of sediment in the carboy (more than 1cm). Should I worry about it at all? Rack it again of the gunk?

Time will give you clear wine, multiple rackings may be required. However, if you are anxious for a clear product (not necessarily sufficiently aged), you may wish to investigate a clearing agent. I have tried many over the years, but Super-Kleer, a two stage clearing agent, has rendered anything I've used it on perfectly crystal clear.

Don't worry. This is why we do multiple rackings when we make wine. You'll have to do it again in a couple of months. Just keep your sulfite levels up.
