Cloudy citrus wine

[kiminecz]

Tried my hand at a gallon of lemon wine. Started in October and racked a few times but still cloudy. Would that be a pectin haze? Any suggestions to clear?

If it is pectin haze, just add some petic enzyme, should clear it in 4 to 5 days. If you have not de-gassed yet, that will help. after that you may have to resort to clearing agents.

Wow October.

So that is already 4 months !!!

You are just impatient.
Let it sit a few more months and it will clear all by itself.

By waiting all CO2 that is dissolved in the wine will also vanish and that might help the clearing. CO2 keeps particles in suspention.

Just wait.

Good advice all around ...thanks! I'll give it a few more months then hit it with pectic enzyme if no luck. Thanks again!

If it were mine, I'd reverse that - hit it with enzyme now and wait. Adding enzyme will not affect the wine, even if it doesn't work, but adding it before waiting means it can be working while you wait. You may wait a shorter period.

Good point, I'll give that a shot. THANKS!
