Hi,

just a few thoughts: give it a bit more time? Is this a wine that takes a while to clear? I usually just forget about them in the demi for at least a month.

Also, temperature could affect the clearing process/time. Best to keep the wine somewhere cooler whilst it clears?

My last silly question: has is actually finished fermentation? Did you stop the ferment?

Just a few starters.

As with most things patience is often required as well as the dose of finnings. Sometimes wine clears within two days....most of the time it won't Id give it at least a few weeks before doing anything rash (like giving it a stir!)

Obviously, 2 days is not long enough. I use 2-part finings regularly, and it often takes as long as 2-3 weeks to completely clear. I say "often" but not always. Sometimes it only takes a few days.

And don't stir once you add it, or it will never clear.

Patience...

thanks for the feed back
Its,an orange and mango .. and white grape, number 1 type wine
Yes I stoped it and racked it ..I tried putting it in the fridge but it started to cloud back the cleared side :-( so I took it back out sharpish . Ill leave it and see what happens on the up side Ive got at least 2.5litres of good stuff :-)

Hi

wines made with mango juice take longer to clear as they contain a lot of solids in suspension, let it stand it will clear further, as the sediment compacts.
