About a week ago I mixed up a new 5L batch of Xtol and put in a wine bag. I took about 475ml out, developed a single roll with it, replaced around 75ml of it, and put it in a new amber bottle for replenishment. Around 4 days later, the bottom half is filled with fuzz. Is this a thing?

I saw that in the bottle of 2% benzo that I mixed up a few months ago, and that was easily fixed by marginally increasing the dilution. But that involved some significant heat, which allowed it to super saturate. This is 5L of Xtol, mixed according to the package instructions.
 
OK. I'll just give the working solution a stir some time before use and forget about it. It must be right up there at the saturation level.
