Lowicz TC help

[JebKerman]

I've had a DJ of raspberry TC on for around 4 weeks and I think it's about bottle ready.

My only concern is that it's a wee bit opaque. If I add finings, would this affect the carbonation in the bottles, or at I best to leave it another week to try and let it clear?

Recipe used:
220ml Lowicz raspberry
4 l Lidl Vitafit apple juice
220ml strong black tea
Lalvin champagne yeast

I don’t normally leave my TC for four weeks so hopefully there is enough yeast action to carbonate.

I wouldn’t use finings, my TC is always like that when you bottle, a week of carbonating will clear it.

Thanks for the tip on the finings

I just gave it that long to brew out... Still getting some CO2 coming through through the airlock, so figured I'd leave it

I'll rack it and bottle it at the weekend.

No problem.
Are you taking gravity readings ?

No. I probably should though

Yeah, helps with knowing when to bottle and what your ABV will be .
