Hello to all, I am new to this list, and new to the Wine Making hobby. I have done several CC red wine kits in recent months, but none is yet ready for drinking.
Here is my question: I currently have the Amarone kit in bulk ageing. I put it into clearing (ie added the Kieselsol/Chitosan packages) in late Jan 2011. With my other CC kits i have found that the wines clear quite well within 24 hours of adding the K/C. However the Amarone has not cleared yet, although 4 weeks have passed since I added the K/C. ie, I can not shine a flashlight through the carboy and see the light on the other side.
Can anyone comment on whether this seems normal for an Amarone? Is it feasible to add a second lot of K/C?
thanks in advance
