Day 18/~420 hours.

Racked back to clean carboys.

Added 1/2 tsp Kmeta and 2 1/2 tsp sorbate to each 5 gallon batch.

Degassed with one of them thingies on a drill for a solid 10 minutes forward/reverse.

=================================

Day 20/~475 hours.

Very cloudy still.

Hopefully I notice some clearing in the next few days.
 
Day 28

On day 23 both carboys were still quite cloudy so I poured in a pack of kieselsol and a pack of chitosan into each carboy and mixed well.

Within a day or two one carboy became very very clear except for some lees collecting on the sidewalls and a good half inch of lees on the bottom.

I am going to carefully rack off about 5 litres into wine bottles from the clear one today and backsweeten with a few different fruit concentrates then chill them and drink tomorrow.

The other carboy although made EXACTLY the same way is still completely cloudy.
