I made two reds but also clearing veeeeerrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyy slowly compared to other wines I've made

ITH-20R with 3 transmitter. USA Thank you!

Tasted my batch prior to bottling and thought it was lacking something, so I went ahead and added the conditioning pack. After adding the pack and tasting again, it didn't seem to add much in the way of sweetness, but definitely had a better mouthfeel, IMHO. Conditioning pack also seemed to...
