Carrot wine not fully cleared

[GazzaW57]

I’ve done a carrot wine which has come out at 14.4%. I used pectolase at the beginning but after I degassed it, I also added finings over 24 hours ago to make sure it cleared. However, as you will see from the attached picture, the clearing appears to have stuck. Any ideas or suggestions please?

I'd just leave it to do it's stuff, give the demijohn a twist every now and then, but it looks like it's working!

Like ChrisT said, leave it, 24h is not that long, I would watch that headspace though, quite a bit of room in there. How long ago did you make the wine, strain it off etc...?

Thanks both, I only racked it off on Monday evening and put in the finings. As for the headspace, I’m not sure what to top it up with.

That's a good headspace, assuming there was lots of sediment in the first DJ, how long had it been in that for, what I'm trying to establish is if you racked a bit early and had a fluffy sediment as opposed to a tight compact one. As for topping up you could use cooled boiled water, WGJ used to be my go-to top up liquid but sadly no longer around.

I only put it in that demijohn on Monday evening. It had been in the previous demijohn for about 4 weeks. The fermentation had ended, and the sediment was all on the bottom of the demijohn.. I racked it off and degassed it before adding the finings.
