Quick Question

I assume that everyone adds the bentonite at the initial stages of primary fermentation, correct?

I have a Brew King kit in progress. I added the bentonite at the beginning as the instructions said. If I had other instructions, maybe I would consider leaving it for the end. I don't know if it is better or not.

From what I've read on this site, you should follow the directions which come with the wine kit. For those of us who make fruit wines, I don't add bentonite unless the wine has not cleared which could be six months from the end of the primary ferment. I've only used bentonite once, this past month with a 7 month old dandelion wine which wouldn't clear. Darlene

Kits do it that way. If making wine from scratch I never add it unless I need it and I do not know that until the wine is made.

I have had kits that advise bentonite at the beginning, but some advise adding it after secondary fermentation.
