Hi all.
I made a batch of EdWort's Apfelwein a few months ago and it went right accorinding to plan - was cloudy for 4 weeks and then miraculously cleared in the 5th week. I bottled it and have enjoyed it.
I decided to try again, but I decided to use Safale-04 instead of the Montrachet yeast.
This time, the apfelwein got really clear after 3 weeks. I took a hydrometer reading and got about 1.004 and had a "hot" alcohol bite, so I decided to let it sit a while longer. 2 weeks later and it has now become cloudy again! Any idea why this would happen and what (if anything) I should do? I was hoping to bottle soon, but don't want to rush things.
Thanks!!!
