STILL HAZY

[crouchy]

hey all.
ive had a batch of wine clearing now in the second vessel for 7 days it doesent normally take this long the brew ive been using. still looks a bit hazy. do you think the finnings have stopped working or just needs more time.
only that its normally clear by now.???

does any one think i shiould buy more clearer for it and add it in or maybe put it outside where it is cooler as it has been sat at 20 degrees or is that cool enough for the sediment to drop. any advice would be good please

What was the brew crouchy ?
It may be that it is not a yeast haze but a pectin haze if it was made from pectin rich fruit.
Did you degass before fining as CO2 left in the wine also slows down clearing.

Hello Crouchy, 7 days to clear a wine is not a lot.

I would definitely move somewhere cooler, ideally with a steady temperature as changes in temp will not help it clear.

Give it a good stir from time to time and try racking off if there is a sediment forming.

All wine will clear naturally eventually and adding more finnings can do more harm than good. Give it more time.

De-gassers are really useful to aid clearing and they also produce a crisper wine. They attach to a drill and really work well.
