Fining's

[jedraka]

When using the liquid fining's, the type that you put sachet "A" then an hour later add sachet "B", how long can I
expect to wait for it to clear? I know it must vary dependent on type of wine, but are we talking hour's/day's/week's?
The kit I'm using fining's on is the Magnum type.

you should normally see a difference after 24 hours with ritchies kwik clear


but you may need to leave it longer for the stuff to settle and compact so you can rack it more effectively

I used Kwik clear on an Elderflower wine late last year as it wasn't clearing on its own. Even with the kwik clear it still didn't fall completely clear. I suspect that I had not degassed sufficiently. Most finings will not work properly if the wine hasn't been sufficiently degassed.
