This is my first wine making experience. I am making a cabernet sauvignon kit that I purchased at my local grocery store (being my first attempt, I did not want to invest in an expensive kit). 6 days ago, I added the clearing agent (Kieselsol) and am wondering how you can tell if the wine is clear enough to bottle.
I rented a wine filter and corker for use over this weekend, but am concerned that the wine may not be ready to bottle. It seems fairly clear to me, but not quite as clear as a store bought red wine we have here. After filtering, will it be ready to bottle? What will happen if it is bottled before it is fully cleared?
Many thanks..
