Does anyone know the recommended dosage of isinglass for wine?
In the beer forum, Aleman kindly set out the dosage for ales, but i wondered if it would be different for wine? I just have a carton of the paste from Hop and Grape, and it doesn't give the doesages required.
I calculated that i would need 30mls per gallon, but i don't know if this is correct? I worked this out as I saw that the Harris Vinclear is sold in 250 ml bottles, and is good for 8 gallons of wine. This works out at approximately 30ml per gallon.
I have 2.2 gallons of strawberry wine that i need to clear quickly so I can bottle (I don't have many demi johns so need to free them up ASAP), so i mixed some wine with jsut over 60ml of isinglass paste and shared it accordingly between my 2 DJs and 1ltr PET.
This morning however, I have something that can only be described as looking like a big lump of lard in suspension near the top of each demi john. Is this normal, or have I put too much in?
I don't know if this thread is the best place to put this question, so if I don't get a reply i may start a new topic specific to isinglass finings in wine.
