Hi Folks,
I have 3 batches in process - 1: a grape juice concentrate (my first try); 2: a Dragon's Blood (4 berry mixed, with some mixed berry concentrate); 3: a pear (Vintner's Harvest can plus Trader Joe's pear cider plus some fruit in a bag).
1 and 2 are in secondaries. I am about ready to move to next stages, including clearing (1 looks pretty good, 2 is still a bit cloudy). I would like to add some clearing agent (or whatever you call it), to try to get at least one in bottles by Christmas. Wondering what you folks might recommend? I have some Bentonite, and also some Isinglass. I know there's a lot of literature about fining, and I'm trying to learn it, but hoping to get a little guidance here, too.
Thank you!
