I have a wineworks merlot kit which didn’t clear following the addition of the kit finings. It was thoroughly de-gassed using a drill & degassing wand before the findings were added.
So after a few weeks I used a Harris Vinclear as that’s always worked for me.
A few weeks later it still wasn’t clear, so I tried a Kwik Clear as this had a lot of good write-ups.
It’s still not clear two weeks later. I contacted Lovebrewing, and had a very prompt reply, but basically saying I had done everything right and sometimes it just takes a lot of time for clearing to happen.
I had planned on having this bottled by now, and it’s now taking up one of my FV’s which I used when racking off, so I want to get it out of the FV if I can.
I don’t want to fork out 25 quid on a filter, especially as it might not work
I have never had such a situation before, so has anyone else had a similar experience, and/or have any tips to get this to clear?
Cheers
