haze won't clear

Feb 09, 2005 4 Replies

I have 3 carboys of chardonay and sav. blanc that won't clear up. I dosed them with issinglass a month ago and nothing is clearing. I redosed and placed in a very cool environment 2 weeks ago and still nothing. Any tips? Thanks.



I used superclear on my chardonnay this year and it cleared overnight. It is a two part clearing agent. You rack it and stir in one packet, wait a few min's and stir in the next. By the next morning it will probably be clear.

I don't think that's a good idea - after 2 doses of isinglass, I wouldn't add another protein-based fining agent. It's probably time for some bench trials - I'd try kieselsol and/or tannin at this stage and maybe bentonite (again).

I take it that you have not used it before.
