Thank you for the information Lum can you tell me how much of the 5%
solution would you add to a 23 liter carboid and would you add a
second fining agent? If so what would you add and how much, I am
mainly thinking about white wine

Jim,
I usually run a bench test to determine the necessary amount of Bentonite.
Without testing, I would use 120 milliliters of hot water and about 6 grams
of Bentonite.
I usually do not use a second fining material. I prefer to cold stabilize
white and blush wines right after the Bentonite addition. That way, the
tartrate precipitates on top of the bentonite and racking off of the
compacted lees is easier.
Good luck,
