boil bentonite?

Which is best to clear orange juice wine? bentonite or pectin enzyme. I have only the two.

Call me insane but I add bentonite to boiling water just enough to make it thoroughly wet and refuse to wait for it to fully hydrate before adding it to primary. With wine mind you, still learning mead. I prefer gelatin or egg white finings for secondary with wines and tertiary rack no more than 2 weeks after I decide to add it and cold crash.
Teflon non stick is your friend for bentonite. Ones it drys its a real pain to get off stainless or ceramics.

No need to rush. Pectic enzyme can be left in indefinitely. Bentonite will constantly strip your flavor profile if left in for long.

@CKuhns
Do you use this filter because it’s gravity fed? If I have a kegging set up should I go with an in-line system?
I’m more interested in filtering my ciders but could also see myself using it for session meads.
