Walker's Niagara Juice Cloudiness

[Larryh86GT]

I think I am going to have to try adding the pectin enzyme. It has stopped clearing. How much per gallon?

 

[Turock]

Dose is 1/2 tsp per gallon. But you could also double that dose with no problem.

Hey Larry, how is your Niagara coming along? Just wanted to tell you I added pectic enzyme to mind and it is crystal clear. Hoping you are have the same results.

Come on Julie, that's not like you wishing someone else's wine doesn't clear just because your's didn't.

Dan what are you talking about?

LOL, I can always tell when you're typing on your phone. Nice edit job.

 

[Julie]

Lol, I so hate auto correct!

 

[Larryh86GT]

I did add pectin enzyme but don't see any appreciable difference. I think I am just going to let some time go by and see what it does. If worse comes to worse I will enjoy it even if if it is cloudy.

Before I added the enzyme I did add superklear, that was about a month prior, it did a little but not much. The enzyme worked much better. Maybe it was the combination of the two

I am considering trying a pail of the Walker's VALVIN MUSCAT when I make my annual trip there this fall. Does this wine have the same cloudy issues as the Niagara?

 

[Turock]

Hey Larry--I have 2 recommendations for you. If you want, go ahead and add the Super Kleer to it at this time. It would be clearing up by now if the enzyme was gonna work.

But here's the perfect solution for cloudy Niagara. Do you like lime flavors? If so, rack the wine and add 2 cans of limeaide concentrate to it. Add some sugar to it to balance the acid of the limeaide and don't strain the lime pieces as this adds lots of flavor. However, the wine will be cloudy from the limeaide. A great disguise for a cloudy Niagara! We make alot of this wine because it's a big favorite of all our friends--especially in the summer. When you have it bottled and just before you pour it, shake it up to get the lime distributed again because it settles to the bottom. It's the only wine you'll ever serve where you shake the bottle first!!

 

[Larryh86GT]

Thanks - I appreciate your lime suggestion but I really like the taste of Niagara wine and will just tough this one out.

 

[Turock]

I thought this was a cloudy Niagara.

 

[Larryh86GT]

Duh - Sorry, I like the taste of Niagara and Concord.

 

[Turock]

Oh, I really like the flavor of Niagara too. It's one of my favorite whites. I only suggest the lime because it disguises the cloudiness. But you should try the lime sometime--in no way does it disguise the flavor of the Niagara. We make a number of different flavord blends with it and all of them are very good.

I would try the super kleer if you haven't. Otherwise, if you like the tasted of Niagra (I do) and you don't mind the cloudy, save it for your private stash if the super kleer doesn't work. My Brianna from Walkers took a good long time to clear. Give it some more time..

 

[Larryh86GT]

Thanks. I am going to try the super kleer and give it time. Have you made the Walker's Valvin Muscat Doug?

I have not tried that one. Only had the Brianna so far.
