Adding Bentonite in secondary?

[BeginnerMark]

Should I add bentonite in my secondary to make it clear faster? I know it's supposed to be in the primary but too late for that since I already racked it!

I am assuming this is a kit wine and you missed the step to add it first. I think that I would not add it now.

 

[BeginnerMark]

No it's not a kit wine... It's the welchs recipe

 

[cmason1957]

Well having never made that, I have no idea.

Why are you adding bentonite? Does it need it?

 

[BeginnerMark]

Wouldn't it make it clear better and faster?

I would like to know also

Bentonite is usually put in the primary fermenter. I don't often use it for clearing after that stage, I use superkleer. Or time. If you're on a quick schedule, superkleer will do the trick.
