Is there any problems with adding two applications of K and C?
There is a risk of over-finnig for sureNope, no issue at all. I just did a second dosing of a Riesling. It all settles out anyway
The color with the light behind it looks good. It's very likely the wine is clearing, although slowly. The somewhat darker color of the wine, the depth (thickness) of the wine, and the light conditions make the clearing look less effective than it really is. I'd give it another week and take a similar photo. If the wine isn't clearing then, another dose of K&C may be warranted.Trying to figure out if I should do something or just wait it out.
This is true. However, I have not been able to find detailed information regarding K&C like I have for other fining agents, from qualified sources I consider trustworthy. I assume that over fining is possible, but don't know the effects.There is a risk of over-finnig for sure
Looks great! And having ur wife dig it certainly is a boost@Matteo_Lahm
Color is awesome! Wife says it is a
"Winner" and thinks with a couple months age it will be her new favorite.
edit....she just took another swig and said "yeah, this wine could be dangerous"

-added 1/2 cup organic white raisins in primary
-added 1/2 tbs grapefruit zest to primary
-15 day ferment to dry
-rack, degassed, added packet D, add Kieselsol (waited 5 min), add Chitosan
-3 weeks in carboy and then bottle

Bravo! My fav for whites, blushes and my hard ciders
Understand fullyOk I'm starting my first white finer kit with the new process, I just pitched on a SB. So far my past results have been meh on the finer wine kits. My first chard was flabby tasting and I'm going to dump it, the SB was more drinkable but not very crisp and had that horrible color, the second SB is still bulk aging and I'll bottle it and find out soon. Anyway hope this comes out, the reds I make turn out fine but all of my white kits(whatever the brand) are meh at best.
Yeah, I think we got what we got. I’m going to rack mine this weekend. I want to see what the lees look like (how much carbon) and see what it looks like in a glass. Get a taste.@Old Corker here's my Rose which had no carbon addition. I didn't have a flashlight handy to backlight it, but as you can see it's quite dark.
