There are no brew shops in my area but two natural food stores in my area stock a limited selection of brew equipment and products however they are mostly focused on beer and not winemaking. Often they get stuff in, then it will sell out and they'll not order more. They sell no fining agent apart from Irish moss for beer. On a tip from someone here I looked in their health section and found pure Bentonite for facials 8-20$/lb. I'm cheap and it's only 2$ online so I kept looking.
After some reading I find out that bentonite is the same as montmorillonite which, one of those stores sells for .65/lb bulk. So I get some and notice on the jar it says montmorillonite / azomite. I write that name down to look it up at home. Azomite is a fertilizer/livestock supplement that is only 10% montmorillonite. I'm going to try it as I want to clear up a carboy and do not want to wait. Does anyone have experience with using this stuff?
I'm not worried about the safety cause it's obvious people eat it and the assay results are not that bad so I'm just wondering if anyone else has used it? I will certainly report back what I find. unless someone can scare me off from using it.
