Which of these "is" or is close to Sparkaloid:
Chitosan
Fining gelatine
Polyclar
Isinglass

I'm supposed to use it for my Sake but I'm not sure which to use, I have all
of these at home so it just a question of which would be more suitable.

Weez,
None of the above are or are close to Sparkalloid. Sparkalloid is a
polysaccharide and when used for fining, it reacts differently than any of
the above materials. "Klearmor" is also a polysaccharide, and it and
Sparkalloid are similar fining materials.

None of those is the same as Sparkaloid (sp?), but of those Polyclar is the
_least_ similar in effect.

Do a trial with each of the others on small aliquots of the main batch and
see which one tastes the best after settling.
