Making a suave into a bubbly

[cwrw]

Hi,
just started a wilko suave kit and I am planning to make half of it into a sparkler. The instructions state that the stabiliser must be added before the finnings A and B. I was thinking would it be ok to add the finnings to the wine, let clear for 7 days and then transfer half of this into 10mgs primed 750ml bottles (caged). The rest of this I was planning to keep in the vessel and add the stabiliser, leave standing for a day or so and then bottle as normal suave. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as usual.

I very much doubt that it will clear without you using the stabiliser to stop the fermentation, and if you leave it to completely stop on it's own accord it will probably be too dry.

Dry is great, and I have faith that cool temperatures and time will allow for clearing without stabilizer ...any alternatives to suggest? Cheers.

Yeah, keep the faith. Given enough time it will clear no probs.
