Sounds like you're rushing things. Try letting it sit for a few months,
racking from the lees and then fining. BTW, bentonite is primarily for
assuring heat stability - not for achieving clarity, although that is
sometimes a side benefit. You might have better luck using isinglass or
gelatin if clarity is your objective. I've also heard good things about
Claro KC (although I've never used it myself).
