Isinglass

[mjdtexan]

When using Isinglass on a fruit wine (or any other for that matter) do I stir everything back into suspension and then add the Isinglass or do I rack off of the lees and then add the Isinglass?

rack off the lees, but take a little bit of them with you. Not much, but it does need a little bit to get started.

Isinglass works best after you rack from the primary. After racking from the primary wait till the wine goes dry. 1-3 weeks. Then add the isinglass. Stir a little and wait 10-14 days and rack.

Thank yall both so much. That is what i figured, kinda. I isinglslassed 3 differnet fruit wines today. My neighbor that lets me have all of the horse manure today decided that we did not need to wait on the strawberry wine to clear today. We are all drunk right now. Really drunk. I did come home with 26 tractor dirt bucket loads of horse manure that is at least one year old today. I have decided that i am going to amend the back three acres so that I can sell 2 acres of produce and co-op 1 acre of land to help folks out.
Did I mention that we are all drunk on strawberry wine right now. It was goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood good too.,
