w o w how long to clear

[barrylewis]

By now you should have racked and got it off all the sediment at the bottom of the jar.

To be honest, I don't think I've ever left a WOW to clear on its own, but it never seems in much of a hurry to do so and I suspect it could take a month or two if left to nature. A cool place would help, but you probably are worrying too soon.

Although I try to use additives sparingly, I don't have a problem with finings as they are all natural ingredients (even if they do come from some strange places).

I rack after about 4-5weeks then store in 5ltr plastic bottles for about another month, some clear better than others, think it depends on the brand of juice used.

Thought I'd get a head start for the summer needs and have 46ltrs started on Monday, Mrs Mc's complaining of the smell in dinning room and when i came in from work this morning I agreed it was a bit much, but the wine is hers and her cronies :whistle:

I like to get my wines cleared as soon as posible.

Racked a WOW yesterday, added Kwick Clear and it is almost clear enough to filter today but will leave it till Monday.

Ok, still tuning in to some of the acronyms used on the forum here...what's 'WOW'?

Wurzel's Orange Wine

Sorry, that's a beginner's guide link since quite a few are using that to dabble with winemaking for the first time.

There's a Glossary button, left hand side of the forum banner, and here's an Acronyms topic which was started recently.
