Default Haze Identification in Plum Wine

I can't speak for plum but I have seen meads just fall before my eyes
after waiting for year for them to clear so I know what you mean. It's
good when it _looks_ edible too...

I bet that has something to do with the electrical charge of the haze
inducing particles. Bentonite is opposite of a lot of fining agents.
The lees never really firm up, so just rack off and resettle those lees
again in a small full container and you will get a lot back. You can
chill it after a day or so to speed it up.
