I have been reading on the forum folks have had problems with clearing the wine. Making wine from my own grapes, It is a HUGE problem. But I get the wine super clear. By using the Super-Kleer packets I bought at fine wine. I add the packet, Let the wine set for a couple days. Then I take a glass tube madefor siphoning wine. Siphon into a bucket with a facet on the bottem to fill bottles of beer. ( I found it at aflea marketfor $2) Fill the wine bottles from the facet. NO MATTER how much I strained the wine. I could not get it clear. This way will!!!!! AND a lot less exposer to air.
