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!!!

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.

Thank you. 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.
