  • Elderflower wine

    I have two one gallon demi-jons containing elderflower wine, one has cleared the other remains cloudy. Any suggestions for clearing other than filtering???

    Many thanks

    Has the wine finished fermenting?

    what were/are the numbers...starting and finishing specific gravities?

    If it has finished fermenting....

    Give it a more time....
    perhaps a few rackings at one or two month intervals

    If you are in a hurry (never a good thing when making wine) try some finings...

    Filtering will not clear cloudy wine, filtering is for polishing allready clear wine.

    See Hippie I have learned much from your teachings!

    hope this helps
    regards

          Sounds like neither is stabilized, 1 is done fermenting, 1 might be finishing slower. Does that sound about right?
