What is orange wine supposed to look like?
I did a super-K treatment to it but it's still somewhat opaque...

Is this what's it's supposed to look like? When i look at it with a flashlight there's no particulates floating around...

You don't CONTROL wine, you guide it in the right direction gently. And you never try to stop fermentation because somewhere along the line you'll end up with bottle bombs.

My wine was clear, I pulled some in a wine glass and looked at the light trough it and there was no sediments.

I added 3 cans of concentrated orange juice (the frozen stuff)
I bought the low acid one, tawed it and brought it to a temp of 75*.

I trandfered my wine back to the primary and added the concentrate, stirred for about 2 mins with the whip & drill then transfered back to a clean carboy.

only 2 hours after there was a 4'' accumulation on sediments at the bottom of the carboy, is that normal? Should I have backsweetened before adding any clearing agents?

Thanks!

Yep Normal. Thats why we say to do the f-pac before clearing and after adding Meta and Sorbate.
Add your clearing agent and wait 3-4 weeks then rack leaving the sediment behind.
