How to clear wine haze

[AndyGoodwin]

My wine is currently 2 months old and has finished fermenting, but it is still very murky and is not clearing very fast, it has been sitting for 2 weeks and only has a small amount of sediment at the bottom. I have read about a pectin enzyme I can add or something called Benzonite or similar. Anyone have any good tips? Or should I just leave it?

You should change your ID to AndyGoodWine. What is your recipe? 2 weeks isnt very long. Its better to put pectinase in at the beginning. You also probably have a lot of gas so if you try to fine it now to clear it the gas will keep the particles in suspension and it wont work. A little bit of patience. The easiest way to b e patient I have found is to start another batch! WVMJ

Haha yeah I might do that, clever play on words

The recipe I will have to find as it is one from the net, don think it had pectine added to it but I do have some. I take it the gass will just clear on its own? Or do I do I shake it or stir it? Is m going to start some Banana wine have been looking at that for ages

You will need to stir or shake to get the gas out. There are many posts on degassing

Wait a bit. No need to rush it. It should clear on its own quite a bit in another month or so, and then some finings can be used. Don't shake or stir!

Ok I'll leave it for now, I had one in a small bottle as it didn't all fit in my 2 carboys so I shook that one a lot, I guess it has the same effect as shaking coke? The gas eventually goes away, which will then allow sediment to drop?
It tastes damn strong and still very sweet, I think there was a bit to much sugar but I like it. One is clearer than it was I shall add pics if I can figure out how. Any one know how I do that?
