Default Rhubarb wine

Having problem clearing.

Used sparkaloid, Bentonite, and more peptic enzyme, and still have a haze. Degassed using 22 lbs. vacumm.

I did throw in a few ripe bananas and am wonderinf ig it could be a starch haze from the bananas?

Made from pure juice using Luc's freeze thing to remove some of the acid. Started at .8 acid.

Any ideas?

I'm not entirely sure, word around here (my neighbourhood) is that Rhubarb never clears quite right.

if you read Luc log you would have found two different methods one calls for cutting the acid away and the other one tells you to let it thaw for three hours and drain the acid off check his log then decide how you want to do it

You seem to have a plastic jug.

Cut the jug away and scrape or cut the top 1/4 inch away.

Mine was froze in a 5 gallon pail so I used a large sharp wood chisel.

Thanks! I'll give that a go! Tried the "thaw for 3 hours" thing, but the liquid in both looks remarkably similar. And woe is me, I have no acid testing equipment on hand.
