I recently made a batch of Dragon's Blood (or, a variation, anyway). I used the KC super kleer stuff and it worked wonderfully. It was crystal clear when I bottled it. Couldn't see any particulates at all. Now, after a little over a month has passed, I've noticed they're starting to get cloudy again and have a ridiculous amount of sediment. Extremely frustrating. I know some people wait months before bottling (and maybe this is why), but the dragons blood recipe is designed to be bottled quickly. I used pectic enzyme (I think supposed to help drop out some sediment?) and clearing agent as per instructions and it was completely clear at first. It's bizarre. And infuriating. I think instructions suggested bentonite but I didn't think that would matter switching to SuperKleer.
My mom also has the same problem. Said that her batches were clear when first bottled and now they're filled with sediment. She used kits. I didn't. We both followed instructions. Not sure what's going on. We're both fairly new to winemaking. Any ideas?
