Apfelwein question

[Jboyles123]

I am about to make some apfelwein for the first time, already bought 5 gal of motts apple juice. I went to a different store today and found 5 gal of pasteurized cider so I bought it. I have enough equipment and supplies to do a batch of both.

I'm planning on doing the motts juice exactly by edworts recipe.

The cider is very hazy. I have both bentonite and pectic enzyme available. Should I use them? If so when should I add them in the process.

We did apple wine with farm fresh cider and after the racking it was clear as store juice with no enzyme and no chemicals.

Let it go and ferment. It will likely be nice a clear long before its ready to drink.
