Could anyone please help? I have 14 gallons of peach wine,six months old.It is free of lees/sediment but is still hazy/cloudy.I have the patience to let it sit for however long it takes but don't want to ruin it.Used pectic enzyme at the start so I don't think that's the problem.I don't want to add a bunch of needless stuff,I'd prefer to do whatever is natural to remedy this.Can provide any additional information if needed.TIA.

Well it seems I can't use my favorite answer (pectic enzyme) because you've already done that, good for you. Did you use enough Pectic Enzyme? What is the Hydrometer reading? Has it been stilled? Have you used a clearing agent? Have you tried cold stabilization? Does it have an off smell? Did it have contact with a source of starch? Those questions should provide a pointer to the problem. Ken
I made 10 gal. of peach wine 2 years ago that just would not clear. Over a
9 month period I used a second treatment of pectic enzyme and then betonite. Then I hit it with Super Kleer and it cleared over night. If it helps, that is my experience with a similar problem.Ray
