My first batch of wine is just about ready for bottling. I started with cabernet sauvignon grapes last December and have now had 5 gallons of wine aging for a year. I was going to taste this weekend to see if it is ready to bottle but I have a question about fining. i guess my question is, do i need to? I purchased gelatin in case the wine is very tannic (it hasnt shown it so far but just in case). i have racked it 3 or 4 times so it should be clear but as of the last racking 2 months ago, it was still a bit cloudy. I guess i will see how clear, tannic, etc it is this weekend. So with fining, do i or dont i? Also, if i do use the gelatin, what is the process, i have not found detailed info on it.
thanks in advance.
