I grow some grapes, concord, Le Crescent, Kay Gray, and Marquette, but not enough to make large quantities of wine. I've never ordered juice, but if I could get a good...

    degassing?

    My Pear wine doesn't want to clear. I used a clearing agent, but haven't stirred it consistantly over a few days like it seems people here are doing. Would making a greater effort at degassing help my wine to clear? I did not use potassium sorbate in this wine because I was hoping to make it...
