I've been making this wine stuff for almost 2 years now, but I had never used bentonite. After reading more than one post talking about it, I decided to get some. The instructions say to put two teaspoons in warm water and then add that to the must/wine.
Is this what everyone does? I ended up with some gray mud that preferred to coat the container it was in rather than go in the wine. I should have expected this since it's just clay.
Seems like it should be ok to just put 2 tsp directly into the must and stir in with the rest of the ingredients. Am I missing something here?
For the people that use bentonite, do you use it only during fermentation or have you used it afterward with success?
