y55600,this is the winemaker,the acidic level of wine should be in the range of 0.60 too 0.75 with the acid test kit. The winemaker has never used teabags.

y55600,this is the winemaker,remember to rack the wine and discard the sediment.The wine will clear after a few rackings.

lindarn54455-this is vallo the winemaker.I normally do not use bentonite and I let it clear on its own.If you decide to use it then use 1/2 teaspoon per gallon or 3 teaspoons for a 5 gallon batch.

Vallo do you use bentonite or just let it clear on its own? If you do how much per gal? Thank You for all your timely answers!

Do not use any bentonite at this point in the winemaking process. Bentonite is used for clearing the wine from particles.If you use bentonite then add it after the secondary period. This will clear the wine.vallo3838

Ok got my first batch in and waiting for the 5 days open and it it fermenting very well using Lalvin 71B-1122 yeast which I hope is ok! Someone said I should have used bentonite but I didn't so what are your comments on using this with welches jucies? Aand if so can it be added after this 5 days?
