My Cranberry apple is not clearing. I racked off the lees about a month ago
and used isinglas (if I remember correctly, no notes) with minimal effect
effect.With cran apple, made from juice, could it be a pectin haze, or
maybe a little CO2 keep everything in suspension?

Peter,


Quite possible it is pectin haze and if the lees were not gross lees the isinglass would have worked better with them as with kits. When you added the isinglass you must have stirred well and this should have degassed it some.


I know this is hindsight but I would say give it some more time and let gravity do it's job.
 
I agree with masta Peter..I have learned that in winemaking, patience has it's rewards
