[emmaann17]

Hello there you jollie brewers,

Please can I ask you advice .... I did some plum wine in September, I have racked twice, will it clear on its own or do i need to add anything so it is ready to drink around april time.

Thanks in advance,

I would leave it for a couple of months to see if it clears of its own accord, but plum can be a bit of a bugger, particularly if you used boiling water. I assume you used pectolase from the start?

Hot extraction can be a mistake with any of the plum family, but you're looking towards next April, which is commendable, so leave it until Christmas / the New Year and if it hasn't cleared naturally by then, go for finings.

For stubborn hazes, I use 'Clear It' finings and then a Vinbrite filter, a highly effective and fast combination
