Wine Finings

Whats the best wine finings or clarifiers to use? I'm not really worried about pectin haze, but more so with yeast. Any ideas?

There is no magic clarifier. It all depends on what you want to remove. You might want to read through Jack Keller's article on finishing wines. Scroll down to the clarifying section:

Once the ferment is done most of the yeast will flocculate out and you can rack it away from the yeast. The rest will come out through filtration through an EK filterpad ( about pectin haze, but more so with yeast.
