Cloudy white after cold stabilization

Nov 16, 2007 2 Replies

Could use some wisdom from some of you here ... gave my Viognier a very small dose of bentonite a couple weeks ago. Let it do it's thing for a few days, then put two carboys of the wine into the refrigerator for cold stabilization. After a few days, the wine is now very cloudy. Never had this happen before - usually a protein haze will show after the wine warms up - not while in the cold.



Thoughts on cause - and cure?



This happened to me in the past and the answer was it's cold stabilization at work - haze first, then crystals. Give it at least couple of weeks, it should clear up.

Do a search for "chill haze" a problem that occurs in brewing beer.
