Pectin Question

[onetoomany]

would "premium liquid fruit pectin for jams and jellys"..be considered a clearing agent?..just found a box in the kitchen... or is fruit pectin what makes fruit wine cloudy?

 

[Wade E]

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats the opposite of what you want as that will make your wine jell up.

Liquid pectic enzymes (which i don't think is the same thing you are referring to though) can be used to help break down the cell walls of fruit to extract more juice - it also aids in clearing pectic haze.

Super Kleer would be an actual fining agent to drop out sediment in wines. However - time will also make your wine clear.

Actually, that might be a good "jello" shooter.
