A month ago I fined 2003 Seyval that was clear and stable with 1 gr/gal of 100B Gelatin to strip out some flavor I didn't care for on a 3 gallon scale. Having never used this on a white wine that is brilliantly clear I was surprised not to see any Precipitation. Is this normal for the Gelatin to seemingly remain in solution? Experiences appreciated. Thanks, John Dixon

That's a pretty heavy dose of gelatin! I usually don't exceed 1 pound /
1000 gallons.You probably need to counterfine the gelatin to get it to precipitate. A little tannin should do the trick. Kieselsohl may also work.
