Yes the carbon made it a little less brown but still a bad color for me I just mix it with a little red so I don't see the color

My issues were with FWK whites they were all flabby(low acidity about 3.5 PH) that's how I see flabby. I'm also disappointed with the dark color of the SB even after the carbon addition.

I bottled my latest FW SB and had a taster bottle left...the color is slightly lighter but still way too dark for a SB. Also this wine also lacks the crispness of a SB and tastes flabby with a hint of fruit smell. This is just like the other SB and 2 Chardonneys I made from FW. All of them dark...

Yes mine had bentonite and the charcoal

yes my FW SB cleared faster than any other FW kit and is lighter than the others by far...for taste I'll have to see I'm just about to rack after 2 weeks clearing

Same kit same results for me, it did fizz when I added "C" but I put it in a little at a time to avoid a boildover.

I saw this on labelpeelers and was thinking of making it. I'm trying to make a crisp SB because that's what my wife likes(like Kim Crawford). I just started a finer wine SB but so far I haven't had any luck making what I'm looking for. Anyone have any advice?

Ok I'm starting my first white finer kit with the new process, I just pitched on a SB. So far my past results have been meh on the finer wine kits. My first chard was flabby tasting and I'm going to dump it, the SB was more drinkable but not very crisp and had that horrible color, the second SB...

I've only made 3 whites a chard that honestly has a terrible color and tastes flat and flabby, a SB that tastes like a cheap chardonnay but looks like a turned white, and another chard that I have in the carboy haven't tasted it but the color is not inspiring. Yeah I know they have a new process...

I did add it in the correct order I re-read 3 times to make sure I didn't mess it up. This did give off a LOT more bubbles during degassing but I hit it with my whip for a couple of minutes 3 or 4 times. Ill let it sit a few more days then dose it again. Thanks

I love the smell on these kits but I'm worried the SB I just degassed isn't showing any clearing after 2 days and that's after using the clearing agents. Anyone else have this problem with the finer wine whites?
