Default Another clarification question

First: What brand (exact kit name please) of Riesling. This may help
someone to diagnose the problem. Fixes for generic rieslings may not
work.

Second, I know you said that there is no CO2. Have you checked? CO2
is definitely a possible cause.

Finally, some clearing agents attach to positively charged particles.
Others to negatively charged ones.
