Alright, I hate to ask it but I couldn't find much on this specific question.
So 11/2 I proceeded to manually degas my Pinot Grigio. After about 10 minutes, I added packets 2-3, degassed again and then added the clarifying agent (cant remember what it's called but I'm sure you're all familiar with the kit). After packet 4 I again degassed which totaled about 30 minutes of vigorously stirring back and forward.
The carboy temperature sits around 72-75.
So here's the question. It's been a short while and I know the instructions say wait 14 days, however, reading this forum I see a lot of people are able to have the wine clear in just a few days. I'm into day 6 and I don't think the color or clarity has changed at all. What factors play into clearing the wine? Why does mine look like it's going to be a slow process compared to others that did it over night?
Lastly, if the wine were to not clear after the 14 days + 7 more days per instructions, what actions would you take?
Thanks!
