WINE CLARIFIERS--FINING AGENTS

WINE CLARIFIERS are an aid to settling wines that would otherwise fail to clear or to speed up the process of clearing. Sometimes they will work wonders, giving you a smooth brilliant wine that matures quickly. Unless you are willing to wait up to a year for your wines to clear, it would be best to get some clarifiers. By using Pectic Enzymes at the beginning of fermentation and Bentonite after fermentation is over, you should always have a clear wine.
Pectic Enzymes PECTIC ENZYMES

They are used extensively in both home & commercial winemaking. The majority of wines will benefit from its use. It is usually best to add as soon as possible during crushing of the fruit or in the extracted juice. It will make pressing easier, extracting more juice and color from the fruit, It can be used at any time. However, after fermentation is well started or has finished, double the amount of pectic enzymes should be used. Any pectin in the juice will be destroyed and carried to the bottom along with other haze causing factors such as starch. If our Pectic Enzymes are used at the beginning of the fermentation, fruit wines will usually clear rapidly without the use of any other clarifier, Just mix it with a little water or juice and add to the wine. It will not harm the wine.

PECTIC ENZYMES

New liquid form. Disperses easily. Used by the professional wineries for its ease of use and high rate of activity. Use1/8 teaspoon per each gallon of juice/must prior to ferment. For best results keep bottle refrigerated.
