I have a 6 gallon carboy of Videl wine ready to bottle. I started this with just juice. I added the Sorbate and sulfite as recommened then sweetend with a simple syrup. The wine was crystal clear when I did this. I stirred it up pretty good. Now 10 days later the wine is still cloudy. The simple syrup had a yellow tint to it before adding. Is this normal? I did bring the water to a boil before adding the sugar when I made the syrup. Do I just need to be a little bit more patient or do you think I discolored the wine a bit. The wine had a beautiful clear amber look to it before sweetening. Maybe I should have racked before sweetening?
