Have you tried turning it off and on again?
Even better.

Oh, wait, wrong forum.

Rack it or distill it or something and see what happens.

All will become clear

Although it made me smile I wasn't sure if you were joking or had a serious point. About using the lees to clear the brew.

Trying to ignore what packapoo said above,which did make me LOL, the time has come methinks for you to rack and strip.
As you are running an airstill, start with the top 4 litres,
I cannot guess at your available time, but it should take you a while to get to the murkier section of the wash.

Yes indeed. Quite within the realms of normal. Taste it, smell it, get used to what happens.

Back in the days that I added finings to settle a wash, pink to yellow was normal,usually depending upon wash, Ph, the stage of the moon, R in the month.
You get my drift?
Normal is never normal, there will be variations.
I will say that if you have spent the money on a two sachet finings, let it do it's job.
If you can clearly see the trub at the bottom, it is clear and ready to run.

And then try without.
See if you can taste a difference.

Robert.
