Argh! It's still cloudy
On May 18th I added geletin to fine the win I made (out of Concord
juice) and it is still cloudy: it was much brighter before the fining attempt and I should have left it alone. Did I just destroy my wine? Bleh!!! -- http://desertphile.org Desertphile's Desert Soliloquy. WARNING: view with plenty of water "Why aren't resurrections from the dead noteworthy?" -- Jim Rutz

WARNING: view with plenty of water "Why aren't resurrections from the dead noteworthy?" -- Jim Rutz Gelatine will often stay in solution unless there is a very high tannin content in the wine. You have two ways to fix this: Add 1/8 teaspoon grape tannin per gallon (dissolve in cool water) and stir the tannin solution into the wine. OR add approximately 30 grams liquid Kieselsol per 5 imperial gallons. Either method should cause the wine to fall bright in about 7-14 days.

I will have to go into Santa Fe to see if I can find "grape tannin." The only wine-making store I know of does not have much stuff at the moment. --http://desertphile.org Desertphile's Desert Soliloquy.
