Should a person dump that out or use it for starter on the next batch? I've read both.

you can do either
if it was a good batch keep it , if it was not what you wanted don't
you can also use it to make Vinegar
that is a traditional use of the mash
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

I'm a newbie to this. I made the first gallon with frozen grape juice concentrate with water and 4 cups of sugar. It's still fermenting after 13 days. I made another gallon with Welchs grape juice in a jug and used 1 cup of sugar. It finished after 9 days and I believe it's 11% alcohol by volume.

When I rack my carboys,,I siphon from the top down so as not to get the settlement.I don't keep it.I throw it out.The alcohol has already "eaten" up most of the good yeast.Why keep it?

I usually thro it all out or put in the bear bait. Are drunk bears easier or harder to hit?

Drink the sludge-it will cure your hangover. Better if you mix it with a little hot pickle pepper juice.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Bottle it and mark it "Friends and Relatives" It will help cut down on the amount of wine you give away.

I threw it out. Didn't look very appetizing to me. The wine does have some punch to it. Then this morning I opened the fridge and a bottle fell out and broke on the floor.
