Thank youI would not -- all fining agents strip something from a wine, so using the recommended amount or less is best. I did a test with Super Kleer (also called Dual Fine and is actually kieselsol & chitosan) and noted that it reduces aroma and imparts a slight bitterness.
I was wondering how you got it backwards ... and now I cannot say that you did. I have a local copy of the WE instructions, and it says to add chitosan first, and I found another reference that says the same. And in the past the order was always kieselsol first. I recall reading in several places that if chitosan was added first, the wine won't clear.I got my info from...

Number 3, says for Kieselsol, “used after gelatin or chitosan”.
Nor saying it’s right, just where I got it.
