a fining screw-up

Apr 01, 2005 1 Replies

I had a carboy of cloudy riesling that cleared PERFECTLY with Super-Kleer. Then, as I was racking, I dropped the siphon onto the bottom, stirred up the debri, and the end result is that the wine is now pretty cloudy again. My question is will the original fining agent results just settle out, or am I back to the beginning and do I need to add another dose of something to clear the wine. If so, should I just use Super Kleer again?

Lee - I think I'd wait a week or two, to see if it settles out on its own, before I added any more finings. If it settled clear before, I think odds are pretty good that gravity and patience will be enough to clear it up again.
