Wine DEFINATELY not clearing

[Locky]

Over a week ago i posted that my wine wasnt clearing a week in. 2 1/2 weeks later the wine hasnt cleared one bit, still looks orangey.
Suggestions?
I have a filter, would more finnings help the cause?
I also have another demijohn, is it worth transferring so I would have minimal sediment?
Cheers.

where are you keeping your wine? its recomend that you move it to somewhere cooler for it to clear.

Its in the corner of my kitchen, around 20 degrees.
Its the youngs medium wine kit.
Thanks for quick responses.

Move it somewhere cool or cold is better. You'll notice a difference in 24 / 48 hrs

If a wine isn't clearing its down to two things (usually) . . . the yeasties still have work to do, and are still slowly fermenting, it matter not how much finings you add if the yeast are fermenting they will still sit in suspension and laugh at you . . . I've even seen it where the finings has caused the yeast to clump together . . . and then the whole mass rises to the surface of the wine with the trapped CO2 . . . .

Or You have a haze . . extremely unlikely from a kit . . .
the other possibility is an infection . . . but I'd be tempted to discount this as well. . . .

Wez and Dave are correct though . . . move the wine somewhere cold and it should drop clear pretty quickly.

I have experienced something similar with this recently, I put on 5 gallons of Peach and Blueberry about 3 months ago, had it in the corner of my bedroom for a while and it cleared like crystal and stopped way too early.

In the mean time I put on 5 gallons of wild cherry, this lot are on my kitchen table in front of the radiator and it is plinking away like crazy , bubbling like a cheap bottle of lemonade the first time it is opened, but it is cloudy as hell.

I quickly realised that the temperature was helping the fermentation so as an experiment I brought down one of the demi johns from upstairs and put it next to the others in the kitchen and sure enough within 1 day bubbling like crazy, but it went cloudy as hell!.

So my plan is ferment the lot downstairs until I reach the desired SG and then move upstairs to age and clear. Moving it definately helps the clearing process!
