I'm wondering, I hear some of you guys saying 6 months to bottle. I'm very impatient and would like to have a time span from fermenting to bottling of about 2 months or maybe 3. I was just wondering if a set time span isn't really what determines when to bottle, but rather that is based on when the wine gets clear? Meaning, if the stuff is pretty darn clear in say 2 or 3 months then is it OK to bottle then? I just want to push my bottling/drinking time to as quick as possible. Also, if you use a clearifying agent then does that mean you can increase bottling time?
While I'm at it, how important is clearity to the taste of the wine? I mean, could you bottle the stuff while it's still rather cloudy and expect a reasonable tasting wine?
