problems with clearing of wine

[Lauritsen]

I added fining agents to my wine but after 4 days I dont see much changes.

I didnt really remove the CO2 first. Will that be a problem?

Yes, CO2 must be removed. The wine will eventually clear, but it might take a while.

CO2 can be a problem, but if it's clearing, stir it until your arm falls off...degas it...and then walk away for a while.

FWIW, the last kit I bottled wanted me to degas, stabilize, and clear at the 14 day mark....I let it sit in the secondary for about 5 weeks, racked and let it sit another month, racked again...there was almost no CO2 when I degassed it and finally stabilized it...and it was really clear. Time and gravity work better that I do.
