  • Clearing apple wine advice

    Hi All,
    I have a batch of apple wine which is showing no sign of clearing on it's own. I suspect pectin as I simmered the must as per Jack Kellers recipe (I now realise this may not be the best method but I've done it now).

    I added pectolase at the start.

    So how would you suggest trying to clear?
    I have kwik clear, bentonite and pectolase. And time as it needs a year to age anyway.

    Can I try them together or 1 at a time?

    Cheers

    Bring the wine to room temp and give a good stir/shake to degass add an additional teaspon of pectolase per gallon and leave for 24/48 hrs then add some kwik clear, this should do the trick.

      Hi Duffbeer,
      Before I added anything it started doing something on its own. So I gave it some time and it dropped some really thick sediment that looked almost like a 2nd lees. Is this normal?

      Anyway, I racked it off this, degassed, added some kwik clear and it dropped clear.

      Thanks
